Re: Custom Revell VW New Beetle

Hair club for bugs!
It needed a new look, what do you think?


The Boxster mirrors are huge. Some recent posts led me to some extra Revell Mini mirrors. Just the thing, don't ya think? The mounts point a different direction and are a different shape so some work is needed to get them to look at home.


I cut some PE brass mesh for the front grills. I'm not sure how i'm going to mount em but i love the look.


Something for both ends and a bit in the middle. The wing mounts are pinned to the body with brass wire now.


I had the spare roof section out to make a second roof mounted wing, though the plastic in the roof is more than 2mm thick and just won't work.
The rear grill turned out to be a bigger pain then i expected too.
More to come.
