Well we have all the paint and glue etc. so we shall begin.
This is the first pic before the start. We shall have our own mini Nats

We have started mini me-HAH44- part 1

Last night we sat together and worked as a team, started putting all the bits together, Tony did the painting. Had problems with the little cross bar that lines up the wheels, really fragile, be careful ours snapped but found an easy way to fix it. the transfer for the dash dials are a bugger to do.

Looks great, I see you guys have got a keen head start on me!

I haven't bought the paint yet, but let's say I'm not following the manufacturer's recommendations

Mini me VR6 - update

We hope you have made a start by now Alex, we aren't exactly following instructions, just want it looking like HAH44.
We are at the stage of painting the body, which has been the hardest, we bought the brush on paint, not good enough, then bought the wrong spray paint, finally bought the right spray paint, just waiting for the final coat before I post a pic.
The rest is done waiting to be put together. Hope there's a post from you asap with your progress.

OMG thats awesome

You even managed to take out the back seat, wow, we didn't think it could be done so we left it.
Plus you were clever enough to mask the black trim, Tony spray painted the whole car then hand painted the trim, what a pig of a job to get right, well done it is so hard being so small.

Mini me-HAH44- progress

Well we both sat there last night intensely working on Mini me VR6, trim was so hard, wish we'd done what R32 did, mask it up first, learnt something new

[.:R32]

So i finally got the mini me VR6 finished and dosnt look to bad if i dont say so myself .

Ok well after a massive leave of absence, I'm back! Unfortunately I haven't made any progress on my model as I think the glue would make me a little sick (have had the flu for two weeks). I hope to get back into it this week!

[VR6pitcrew]

Welcome Back Alex, missed you.
We have started a major project, I bought Tony ( early fathers day present) the complete 1/10 VW Golf VR6 RC kit, I didn't realise it comes in a box with a thousand pieces,omg. I will post pics of the model soon.

Nelsons Model

Nelson brought round his model, wow it is awesome, made ours look bad, his is such an excellent model of HAH44, even the back seats are out and he has lowered it. Nelson you win we are going to repaint ours black to look like LUCE4

UPDATE on RC VR6- HAH44

Here are the pics I promised.
After talking to thestu & seeing his model & getting his advice we also bought new adjustable suspension so that we could lower it.
We now have it fully working, just have to get it painted.
We are still waiting for the BBS rs wheels to arrive, plus I'm now making new stickers for the lights etc, same as HAH44, then of coarse the roof racks & skis.
Must get it finished for 12th September- VWD Action Day so that we can take it along with HAH44

The BBS rs 1/10 wheels have arrived and are on, they look awesome, just have to finish the paint work on the body and she will be finished, our Mini HAH44, we will have our mini me's on display on VWD Acyion Day.
