wardsmodelbuilder Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I finally have a little time from commission work to start a little side project. After searching my stash I decided to go for this Beetle, which should be quick and simple. Its going to be painted with zero paints and cleared in 2k, with a beige interior. Might be a strange combination but its just paints I have lying around and I think the chrome on the body panels will look good against a dark blue. Its going to be a completely box stock build. Not looking for anything complicated. I have made a start on the body, sanding the seam lines out and given it a first coat of primer. to be continued.....

JeroenS Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think that dark blue will make it look rather classy, so should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardsmodelbuilder Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Here is the progress so far on the little Beetle. Nothing major wrong with the body out of the box, just a couple of mould lines which were easily removed. Primed, painted and a little bare metal foil added to the side features and then cleared in 2k. I will now start to work on the chassis and engine.
