Parabat Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very nicely done, the only thing that stands out a bit 'off' is the aerial, but what a realistic finish this is. You can just see it in the disregarded corner of a factory lot or farm somewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Well done! I quite like the many variations of damage and wear you've been able to demonstrate. One of those, in a little better shape, got me through college. It was truly the perfect student vehicle: economical on gas, readily available parts at the junkyard, easy to repair. The one downside was so little heat that I was scraping frost on the inside glass during a particularly bad blizzard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinH25 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I love this! Looks great. What was your technique/do you have a wip thread? I plan to do something the same. I have a 1:32 Revell vw beetle kit primed up and ready to go once I've practiced the effect a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_G Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very nicely done! Great job! Reminds me of my Dad's 1967 Beetle. It was also blue. 😎 Ralph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Smart! Exactly the same colour as the one I had ( less all that rust of course) What did you use for the main body colour? My one was prone to have cr*****y brakes! They used to sieze, particularly the front ones No matter what I tried they never worked right, new cylinders brake lines, bleeding them the lot ... Also the fuel float used to stick and gave me false readings as I often ran out of petrol. The heating duct on one side was missing so it froze on the inside of the windscreen in winter..... basically it was a heap but I liked it. Ended up being carted away to the local breakers yard..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.e.charles Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 great job on the body. chrome could be toned down a bit, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
