Hi, welcome to AF. Very individual idea and nicely executed. I simply love scratchbuilding projects!

The taillights are awesome, what are they made of?

Maybe you want to try drybrushing the seats with flat color? They look way too shiny,
escpecially with the flat black painton the body.

Keep it comin'

The taillights are made from Datsun 240Z mirrors and ferrari F430 rear lights. :grinyes:

And both seats and body are painted with semi gloss paints.
I don´t have a decent studio set atm for better pics.

Thanks.

Great scratchbuilding !
Engine looks wicked. I bet it can smoke those rear wheels pretty easily ;)
Are those wheels the kit wheels?
Love the steering linkage and front suspension!

Are those wheels the kit wheels? The steelies are from the kit. Rear tires are Revell Shelby Cobra front tires :smile:

I really like the modifications you made here, I think you ended up with one very cool car. The engine is excellent.

Woah! That engine is a stunner! And the way you've decided to lower the car is simple, elegant and ingenious! I wish I had thought of it but am glad you did so I can copy it. Great work! Beautiful hotrod bug. Just a great model, thanks for sharing.

Newbie? You are in the correct way to become a master... I consider scratch-build a task for advanced modelers. Congratulations! Which will be your next model?

I like it. I think this is one of the most original builds posted in a long time. I wish I had the skill to do this.

To be honest I would like to build another VW Beetle but well see about it.
Too many unfinished projects atm. :tongue:

Thanks for kind comments.

I have a military modeler friend who is just "nuts" :lol: about detailing.
He made those bolts and nuts for me by using this method.
This tutorial is in estonian and is about bulletproof bolts but you will get the idea.
