Surf 's Up - New Beetle

Seems like there are a lot of VW-enthousiasts over here, so here's my latest finished build.
It started as an New Skool Beetle but it ended up as an Surf Styler (or whatever you wanna call it :mrgreen: )
So what happened?
- removed the headrests from the seats (to create some Old Skool feeling)
- Cali-style steering wheel
- PE Hot-Rod pedals
- cleaned bumpers front & back
- debaged
- Baby-MOON wheels whit white-wall tyres
- decals: Hawaiï flowers & pinstripes

Wow, that looks sweet. It looks like it has some old school flavor. Only minor thing i see is the black on the front window. Did you use paint thinner to correct it or am i blind and its a decal?
Meets thread WORTHY!!!!

Where did you source the decal on th surfboard?
The stripes (and the board also) came from the '31 Ford Sedan.
The Iron Cross came with an old airplane :icon16:

I know exactly what you mean, but if you take a good look on some pic's you will see that it's a decal with white Hawaiän flowers. :smile:

It just doesn't get cooler than that. The car, the board, those wheels... perfect in look and execution. I love when a clever build is so clean and well executed that it looks like the whole universe lined up to make it happen; but it was just a gifted modeler. Great work!

Agreed, this is a wonderfull model. The wheels give it such a different dimension, beautiful build.

I appreciate all those kind words, thx guys! :smile:
Seems like spending a lot of time in the 1/1 carscene, with guys like Master B ( www.masterbgraphix.com ) and Gerry from Pro Rider ( www.prorider.be/ ) makes my mind going sick, just like tose 2 :biggrin:
