It's a Thing

Looks like the real "Thing"! Fun blog to follow - thanks.

Super! Love the detail, great job.

Great looking Thing

What a great build! Love the tires, rims, and those seats are really cool!

That's a sharp-lookin' thing. And Thing.

NO, No, No, that's not a THING, it's one ubeaut super fast Bruce creation….top job sir!!

i like that thing…. hummmm….. them seats are totally awesome Bruce ….and built way quick …like a week LOL…...GREAT JOB :<))

I remember those things!
Nice model, lots of detail everywhere including the tiires.

I used to have an ORANGE VW THING!! The first car I bought on my own! I love this, htl!! Thanks for the memories.

Chairs, wheels and car. Again a great build. Superb this super thing.

Realy fine car. It realy takes a gut to decide to make a wooden vehicle. I don't have it.

Very nice job on this. I really like the detail. The seats and wheels are creative.

That was one helluva great blog(sss) #4 describing the build, plan planning, sanding and how your missus is better than mine (for all you one eyed LJ'ers that refuse to stray from the stables… that's another story… and you'll never know… at least not from me).

It is a shame the stats for the blogs cannot be accumulated against the project and get the recognition it rightly deserves… I reckon many woddies have picked up some great ideas from teacher #4...

Now for the mandatory however… If you used #4 in the logo/name-plate instead of HTL... it would have fitted better…! Alternatively… get a lower case router (htl).. shorter text (alternative alternative… learn to kern)!

PS. How'd you get those other coloured VW's into your lounge… did mum give permission?

nice looking THING, the seats and wheels are the greatest. Building from a picture is the way to go.

... takes a gut to decide to make a wooden vehicle. I don t have it.

Hey majuvla, drink some beer… you may not be able to make wooden vehicles but you'll have the gut!

Seriously bud, I've seen some of your work and you are more than capable… not taking anything away from the accomplished toy builders here, with the right plans and slow approach you might (sorry will) surprise yourself. No I won't say it's easy… but nor is opening a beer bottle without a bottle opener… but we somehow manage to do it!

The only requirement/qualification is… a want to do it… the rest just gets easier as you progress!

Sorry #4, for the soap boxing on your blog…

This is a wonderful model and shows a lot of craftsmanship.
