At my last club meeting I received a kit of the new Tamiya Schimmwagon. We are using this kit as a basis for a GB. In the box it appears to be a very good kit with nearly no flash and plenty of nice detail. It’s not excessive like some manufacturers these days. It also includes three figures, one of which is not meant to be used.
As I just can’t leave a kit alone I’ve decided to whiff it into an Addams Family beach buggy. As the kit comes with the wide tires it was designed to use all I needed to do was dress it up a little. I bought a no name chrome paint pen and chromed the wheels, window frame and several other parts. I’ll paint the body black with red velvet looking seats. The trick will be making a figure of Lurch all crammed in trying to drive it. I might need another for Uncle Fester and the kids.
The other option would be to jack up the suspension and add fat tires from the parts box and make a redneck pickup truck version. Maybe in the future using a Kubelwagon kit. Pics will follow.
