Ornery OTTO AA/FA Bug
by BrentH Tue 08 Oct 2013, 3:04 am
I think this might have been the last build I did before taking the long break. This was my first ever build using a resin body. I believe it used the Bantam Blast Chassis. The Chassis was covered in with side panels, I opened the frame up. Not sure why, just to be different I suppose.
Did a couple hot passes to get the tires good and worn in, Engine is again another Ross Gibson resin. Scratch built all the fuel fittings from Hex styreen. Gas lines are made from small soldier. Cant see them well but I cut the shocks apart and added springs that were made from the inside of a bearing seal.
I was going to make new Zoomies from soldier but used the Resin ones instead, they weren't' in the best of shape.

SUPER BUG 
Great job. I think it looks better without the scoop, like the detail you did and the clean build with a good paint job

Great with or without the scoop. Both work for me.
