CMK 1/35 VW Type 825 Pickup, Part 2

Construction begins on the CMK 1/35 VW Type 825 Pickup.
In this video, I start the preliminary work in preparation for attaching the resin parts to the plastic. Cutting, sanding and test fitting. Then a bit of assembly in preparation for priming and painting the interior

This is such a cool kit. I'm really enjoying watching it all come together. Great work on the cutting and fitting of the custom parts.

For someone who hasn't done a conversion, you did a very good job Bret! Solid start on this update, you done quite some stuff. Definitely a kit to keep qn eye out for. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Geroge! It isn't over yet, but so far, so good!

Hello Brett. Some very neat and tidy surgery indeed. Glad you managed to negotiate the casting block removal without any misfortune!

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Lloyd. I was pleasantly surprised. The thin piece was kind of scary!

[@hillbillymodeling]

Wow, that's a lot of work my friend, I'm LOVIN' IT! Lots of cuts and sanding, this is the thing I like most. Great start can't wait to see what you decide to do with the bed sides. Model on Dude!!

[@BrettG64]

Thanks. This kind of work is definitely out of my wheelhouse. I can do it, but generally opt for the easy way out when possible!

[@MattR58]

Nice progress Brett. Looking forward to part 3

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Matt... working on that one now.

Very clean conversion, very well demonstrated. I expected that big casting block to be more of a headache! You've definitely sold me on this one - looks hard to come by, sadly. The only one I've found so far is in Bulgaria, which makes for some pricy postage! For a second vehicle in a diorama though, I reckon it would take some beating! Enjoy your build! 😁👍

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Andrew. Cutting off the casting block was a pleasant surprise. Fortunately, the resin doesn't seem to be real brittle. so it made cutting it off much easier.

Looks great so far.

[@BrettG64]

Thanks you!

[@claytonmcclain182]

Haven't built that kit but I've jumped on resin kits and they have some very odd instructions there almost an after thought. Anyway great start Brett 👍

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Clayton. The instructions can be a bit vague, and this kit is no exception. But, still not too bad.

[@jaredbmodels]

Looking good buddy!!

[@BrettG64]

Thanks, Jared!
