[WIP] Volkswagen Transporter Syncro 4x4

[Wabariik]

Hello!My newest model Im working on is my all time favourite 4x4 vehicle Volkswagen T3 Syncro.I have built lots of models about the T3 to be 4x4,but I have never got as far as I have now.I made sone blurry pictures about the current state of the bus (its still under construction).I'll make better ones soon,and hopefully post a video with the bus in action.

Pictures here:

This model has AWD,as mentioned,openable boothatch,openable doors (front), front and rear axle switches,so I can go RWD or FWD.There actually was a connected steering from the inside steering wheel,but I forgot to attach it to the front axle.The bus actually drives quite smoothly,although sometimes there is slight gear grining,as the bus is quite heavy.This caused me the loss of 2x 12 tooth gears. RIP

I hope you like it so far,and I'd really like to hear your opinion!

Looking good, if it turns out like your other MOCs should be awesome!

Good luck.

I like your style man since Moskvitch. VW is also very realistic. Hope we will see its syncro transmission in action;)

Some new pictures and a video (with lots of gear grining) about my Syncro are available here:

I added some dirt flaps,spare wheel to the rear and an exhaust pipe.I also modified the dash and rear bumper.

Looks quite fast on the video! How heavy is it?

[Wabariik]

@Zlbj:It weighs approximately 3kg.

Is this the famous camper van style? There was a garage near me that specialised in VW vehicles, I would see the custom camper vans everyday. Great model by the way.

Thanks Horace! This is not actually the camper van styled bus,although it looks like so,because of those white parts on the sides of the roof.I have actually rebuilt the whole roof and It now looks better.I'll add some pictures soon!

Unfortunately I had to dismantle the Syncro,but therefore I have started my new car.This time it's VW Golf II with working front wheel drive axle from my syncro.I haven't quite finished it,but Im working on this model.Pictures here: http://www.flickr.co.../116031062@N02/ Please tell what you think so I could improve the model!

Could anybody add to the title "VW Golf II" . I would not want to create another topic for the new car! Thanks!
