Good to see some of the cars on the shelf Silvertriple.  I need to put wider shelves up for mine, now I have started building the others. I will be 5, possibly 6 cars up on the old pic,

EDIT: Oh I forgot  the wpl c24, parts for a 2nd c24 and parts for 1/10 scale Crawler

It never ends lol

Trying to figure out how to do led buckets for the Lunchbox lexan bodies...


This is lenses container. I have a lot sitting around. That should do it, although it is a bit big.
Plan is the following:

• drill a 5mm hole in the center so led can fit perfectly
• paint them with Liquid Chrome molotov markers
• glue them with hot glue inside the body shell
• position a led and glue it inside the lens
• and that should work

Results within the next few days...
 

Yeahhhh

I'll do a thread for it when it will be ended but I already am in love with this vw. Except the body posts wich are really too soft and unacceptable for tamiya oem.... 

Prototype light buckets drilled and chrome applied. Took about... 5 minutes...


I will let dry for few hours and get to next steps today evening or tomorrow...

I couldn't wait to see the final result and did not resist to upgrade my Lunchbox body with the light buckets..
