        Love it! I'm old enough to remember these "things" - there was one in my town that was painted pink and had the doors removed. GREAT model and I really enjoyed reading the descriptions too!

              Fantastic ๐Ÿ˜„ the more you look at your models the more you realize how much detail is packed into them! almost everyone models only what is necessary and will be seen, but not you.... your a maniac ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                I know there are some rules about the number of the icons in a post, but this one worth breaking them !(actually they won't let you post more than 15 - I had like 40 )

                There you go, I think I broke it now !

                  I couldn't understand what was being said, but, wow, that Citroen was quite nimble, especially considering how extremely narrow the tires were!

                  Although the Thing was advertised as an off-road vehicle, it's abilities were very limited.

                    Thanks Rick. As near as I can remember, I've never actually seen a real Thing, although I suppose I must have at some point in my life. After doing all the research on this I was actually considering getting one, just for fun, until I found out it's not really a car for up North ๐Ÿ˜ข

                          Yeah, I do seem to be detail-oriented sometimes. Was planning to really detail this particular model, not sure why. Did do some work in that direction, like the pedal cluster...

                          and the floor pans were coming along nicely...

                          Oh well, like I said before, it was fun

                            incredible work! do work in real scale or do you scale it up, as sketchup is having some trouble sometimes with small items?

                              Thanks Carloh. Yeah, I normally scale my models way up, makes it much easier to work on.

                                          Dear Hellnbak
                                          I am very impressed with your model vw thing, I love it.
                                          I'm a big fan of this car and my son and I have two vw things in real life.
                                          I also made a vw thing model in 3d, and I have spent many hours doing my model.
                                          I would love you to contact me. I am very interested.
                                          I can show my 3d model.
                                          I was your follower of your project in thesamba forum a few years ago.
                                          please write to kwstas in gmail.
