That is truly beautiful my friend. Can't wait to see what Mat does with the kit you sent him. So cool seeing two of my favorite scale guys working together.
Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few weeks xD
@@AMPROEngineering i have a set of the arches, radio gear and am waiting for Sandscorcher to hit the UK shores again. I wanted one in 79, folks couldn't afford it, my daughter (the age i was back the ) has seen it and told me to get it. What kind of dad would i be if i didnt!
It looks absolutely amazing my friend . Looking forward to seeing it outdoors in the sun showing off that paint job. Tamiya should hire you 4 commission work on making their kits even more beautiful
Thank you for all your hard work. While I have no plans on building an actual Tamiya Sand Scorcher, I DO have plans involving the Sand Scorcher body, the "upgrade/replacement" parts you designed, and the Junkyard Stance Porsche Flat-6 engine. I just hope Hannibal (Smith, not Lecter) is right about "plans coming together".
@@AMPROEngineering Honestly, Matt (Scale Builder's Guild) gave me the idea. He did the Sand Scorcher build videos using your parts, and, knowing he normally does crawlers, that's what gave me the idea to attempt this. I will be doing a build thread in the RCC forum.
Looks totally Amazing my good friend. You have done a brilliant job as always 👏 hopefully when I've recovered from this horrible Long Covid then ill start doing Videos again 🙏 really enjoyed this build video 😍 keep safe and well 👍
This project is totally awesome! I love custom projects. Factory builds is nice, but I do love custom projects way more. Same goes for real cars, orginal is ok, but custom or built to your taste is way better. Nobody decorates their home the same way as the next person, why should it not apply to cars as well? Well done sir! Regarding custom Tamiya projects, I'm currently building a 4x4 Lunchbox with DF01 Manta Ray parts. To make it a but harder, my goal is to not modify the Lunchbx bathtub in any way. Yes it will have the orginal tub, but with DF01/TA02 drivetrain :-)
Awesome! The details and thought are mind blowing. How do you find the patience? My beetle will be just fun to drive, just full of admiration for people who can apply themselves so well to what starts as an idea. Hate to see it tho, after that epic hard work and thinking it's finished, you'd still got the door mirrors to do! Also a low profile servo would give less space to mount esc and receiver if you want straighter steering links, hope that helps someone.
Oh no, i had no patience! Haha! That is why this took 8 years. Work for a few hours, get mad...stop for 8 months...work for an hour, get mad, stop for year.... I didn't do the mirrors as someone on Shapeways makes amazing ones that I have now installed. As for the servo, there are two mounts for it, standard and low profile. I try and make as much for standard parts as I can.
LOL! I dunno...I think we could argue that for a while. I have a lot of clear parts planned but at the moment, the "clear" from shapeways isnt that clear.
Sorry, I get all that stuff on ebay and all the sellers just keep changing. it is super annoying that I cant provide a link that lasts more than 30 min!
