I wasn't understanding why is there no Lego Volkswagen Karmann Ghia on MOCpages... Now I know! Oh My God! What a dificult car to reroduce with Legos! But it's so insanely great to do it! The dificulty level is so high... Than you feel pleasure by building this car! It's a big challenge and I hope this will be appreciate as it should be!!! ;D

Quoting Loek Marcus Great model! Although I'd prefer real LEGOŽ wheels. Nevertheless it looks like this is a model you've spend some time on. Good job!

Thanks! And yeah it take me some hours to get it finish! ; ) Otherwise: Lego make similar wheels (I have see them in a Lego Cars set "The V8 garage" on a VW Camper ; ) ), but I don't have this set or wheels, so I build with my alreday own parts!... ; ) Lego or not!

Quoting Starscream Soundwave Technically speaking this isn't a five wide, but it is more the scale of a five than a four. I really like the way you did the front, and the shaping at the back is brilliant.

Thanks!

Quoting Senator Chinchilla . Very neat. Congrats on building what is probably the 1st Karmann Ghia in Lego.

Not "probably the first..." THE First (on Mocpages)!!! ;D Thanks for your comment!

Quoting King Andy Really cool! Amazing classic car! I love the wheels :)

Thanks! Wheels are these ones: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/282416 They're also used on Most famous creation: My VW Beetle! http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/282413 ; )

Quoting Nick Barrett A difficult thing to build - especially at this scale - and nicely done.

Thanks and yeah, really dificult to build!

Quoting Jack Scharr and Aaden Hughes

Thanks!

Quoting Nils O. Hi Vince, that's a great little Karmann Ghia! I'm glad to see that you still know how to build little cars ;-)) The design is awesome, very close to the original and with a lot of SNOT work. Great job! :-))

Thanks! In fact it is the project I was thinking about, when you asked me "what happened to 4wides?" (Asked in your comment on "Back in black" ; ) ) This is it!!! : ) BTW Glad you like it! As me you're a VW lover, and this comment confirm mee it's a good VW MOC! Thanks! ; )

Quoting Marcus Paul I really like this - a very nice and recognizable recreation of the Karmann Ghia, one of my all time favorite cars. Not the first one, though - Maks over on Flickr built one in December last year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maksymilian_majchrzak/6574448621 Completely different, but I can't decide which one I like better ...

Thanks! I wasn't knowing someone else have done a Lego Karmmann before me (however if I've search)! Although it's, as you said, a completly different building technic! And, another little difference, his one is a 1955 VW, and mine is based on a 1972 one!!! ;D Thanks for your comment anyway! And this is, finally, the first "of something" anyway ; )... 'Cause it's the first Karmann Ghia on MOCpages!!! :D
