Volksrod

[Raphy]

Good evening gentlemen. Here's my Volksrod in 10-wide (w/ fenders it would be thirteen-wide). I worked on it for a week, which is for me a record-breaking time. The hardest part was the hood. The model has opening doors and trunk, a detailed engine and interior. Black paint, gray rims, long exhaust tips, whitewall tires, custom vintage license plate with "RAPHYSBUG" on it. Also, rotating wheels. "Volksrod" - Volkswagen Type 1 with a chopped roof, lowered ride height, a front axle moved forward about half a meter (maybe a little less). This was a modification style originating in the 1970s, and still popular today.

It even has door frames!

And yes, everything I wrote above was a direct translation of what I wrote on LUGpol. :P

Awesome hot rod! I look up to hood - it has really cool and complex design.

Awesome! I love old VWs. I like how the white-wall tires were simulated with white and grey rims. I like the dual carbs and the fan/alternator belt as well.

Did you abrade the front tires so they are smaller?

Did you abrade the front tires so they are smaller?

nope, they're official tires, usually found in Power Racers sets etc. :)
