The LEGO VW Beetle for Christmas!

Christmas 2017 and I had to ask for the LEGO VW Beetle to go with the VW Camper already sitting on the shelf! It's a great build and does look good. I had to compliment it with the LED light kit as well, just as I had done with the Camper!

Time to take up the dining table!

A great finished model although there have been comments it resembles the 2CV!

A few pics with the light kit installed

Ace Cafe London

I've seen loads of pictures of people with there VW's at the Ace Cafe before and always wanted to get my Camper there. I saw a link pop up on Facebook for the Aircooled VW meet on the 20th June 2017 so thought this is my chance! I noticed on the event that a couple of people I chat to had put themselves as interested so sent out some messages to see if anyone was interested in letting me tag along.

Declan who lives near me replied and said he would be going along about the same time as I was leaving, so we arranged to meet up. 6.30 we met and set off, Declan in his beautiful Beetle and me in my camper. We had a nice cruise there, not to much traffic and a steady pace due to my camper!

When we arrived it had started to fill up already with Beetles, Buses, T4's but we managed to fit in ok. I met Darren there who owns the lovely split and Simon with his freshly painted grey bus.

Just some pics below of vehicles that turned up.

My Camper in amongst the others!

The Lakes & Pub!

The weather was beautiful at the weekend so couldn't resist talking the camper out for a short run! We went over to Fishers green which is along the crooked mile just up from Waltham Abbey. It's a lovely place consisting of many lakes and a couple of rivers running through it. We then went on to The Crown pub in Broxbourne, it sits right on the river so you can watch the boats go by.

 Ready for the off!

 Quick bite to eat with a cuppa!

 Lovely walk along the river

Branding the Lego Camper!

I had some stickers printed of the T2BusCrazy logo and with these came a smaller couple for the Lego Camper. I've been interested in Stop motion for a while now and thought I'd have a little play with my sons Lego figures, the sticker and the Camper!

LED Light Kit install into the LEGO VW Campervan video

As mentioned in my last post, I have created a video of the installation of the LED light kit into the LEGO VW Campervan and I've finally got around to posting it! So click HERE for the link.

Lighting the Lego VW T1 Camper

I got the Lego Camper last year and what a great build it was. Very detailed, a great model. I saw someone post a link to an LED light kit for it on Facebook so thought I'd take a look. The kit was for sale on eBay. I found a couple of reviews on the web and people said it was a good kit.

Anyway, the kit arrived and I was really impressed. The item was packaged really neatly and came with clear instructions. I wanted to create an install video so it took me a while to set everything up but the actual process is fairly easy.

I have put a few pictures below and will be putting the video up shortly which I will post a link to when it's done.

There are a 2 LED Lego strips inside, one in the cab roof and one in the central part of the roof.

The kit includes new LED indicator and headlight lenses to replace the existing  

and new LED rear light bricks..

VW Camper T2 How-To YouTube Playlist

Since owning my Camper I have put a few How-To videos together. These are only short but I've tried to include as much information as I can so will hopefully be useful to others. I will be posting more in the future as I take on more jobs on my bus as the jobs seem never ending! The videos and some documents can be found in the right bar of the page under the How-To Directory but I have also created a YouTube playlist of them on the T2BusCrazy YouTube channel. The Channel & Playlist can can be found by clicking on the links below:

Herbie at the Park!

I got my Volkswagen Beetle RC car last Christmas and haven't used it much. To be honest want to try not to damage it to much! already had a couple of accidents and need to replace the front bumper and wing mirror. I decided to take it for a short run over the local park where there is a small track for the younger kids to run around. This came in handy for my 1/10 scale car! I put a short video together which is on the T2BusCrazy YouTube channel, link below.

Christmas 2016

Not had much of a chance to get out in the bus recently due to other things going on. Managed to get it out once over Christmas, just for a short trip to the local rubbish dump and Pets at home! Took a while to start because I haven't run it for about 4 months now. Once started it took a time to warm the engine up but then seemed ok. Nice to drive it again after so long!.

Quick visit to get rid of the Christmas rubbish!

Stocking up on Rabbit food!
