1/24 Audi A2

Before you starting to grouse, yes, it is a Welly Die-Cast. But as i reworked the whole thing to finally get something that looks like a model, i think this belongs to the modeling section (as it already happened with Die-casts before..).

Please judge by yourself, if i´m right or not. :smokin:

For those, who are interested in the look before, please click the previews.

:thumbsup: great work
doesn't look like a diecast-toy anymore at all
:worshippy

Nice clean up job!

Awesomeness :cool:

Nice die-cast build :thumbsup: :)

The new 1/24th diecasts are really getting nice. I bought the Alfa 8C in 1/24th and converted it into a 8C Spider. I also have a Maserati GS and
Alfa Brera in 1/24th. Nice castings. The Quattroroute Collection in 1/24th
is also very very nice. Time to strip some paint!!

Good work sir & definately belongs in this section imho!

Very nice :thumbsup:

awesome dude, very nice

Thanks for comments and "support" ;)

@tpliquid
Welly made several Audi´s as 1:24 Die-Casts like A2, A3 Sportback, A4(B5,B6,B7), A6, Q7, TT. Some of them, like the A2 are harder to find these days. Some of them were also sold under different names than Welly, like "Schuco" for example.
Take a look in MODELS/JUNIOR-LINE/1:24

http://www.schuco.de/

No idea, if they ship internationally, but they have a huge range of 1:24 cars:

Freakin excellent with the TT wheels!!! Great job making the body look decent! Now just please cat some up for us:)

Hi Julian,

as said before: very nice job and with an excellent result! I must admit that it looks better in person than in the pics...

The A2 really looks great with those Parabol wheels - just like your real one :smokin:

Oh, BTW.... nice logo / watermark in those picturs!!!

Cheers

PS: great idea to use a shower gel bottle to make rear lights - very creative!
