1/25 "Sand Rail Dun Buggy"![In Progress!]

[Captain Caveman III]

Ok first off I'm building two dune buggys. I came up with the styles for my buggys from looking at alot of dune buggy photos. "So here we go".






Now this is were I am to day. I'm not looking forward to building those scoop tires.

Well the first tire I have build I did it like this:






An that's the hard way. A friend that build a lot of Military vehicles showed me an easyer way fo layering discs, to build up the tires width. So I may try that out on one and cast it. Now the wheel, I'm going to make them from some resin copy of rear dodge dually wheels. Now the front dish wheel of one of the buggys will be easy.,but the othere I'm goint to have to work on.

Oh I'm not goint to use VW engines. I'm going with V6 engines. In the photo that's a V8 stand in.
