Cool Instagram link: the start of custom bubble windows for a van

This is such a cool idea. I like ‘70s style custom vans, but not enough to build a real one. In scale, though…it would be a nice touch. Also- Tamiya has a 1/12 remote control Dodge van with a body made of styrene. It looks pretty good. It’s called “Vanessa’s Lunchbox”. You can find the bodies on eBay.

Cool, and interesting that you post this. This is what I do for work. I travel around the world installing, fixing and training people to use WaterJet cutting systems. I have some waterjet cut parts on one of my builds. 

It's an amazing tool for cutting a lot more than bubble windows.

Can’t wait to see what he ends up doing with those, he does fantastic work!

The Tamiya Lunchbox was based on a real vehicle. The Rollin' Thunder monster van was one of the early monster trucks and was purchased in about 1987 by some Japanese guys who toured it extensively around Japan.

Wow. I never knew that. I have one that is two bodies mated together for a stretch van with tandem axles and a smooth roof. I want to make it look like a modern take on a ‘70s van.
