Re: In Progress: Tamiya New Beetle
First of all, you should know that I have psychic powers and I made you do this update. For various reasons I was thinking last week that you'd dropped of the radar recently and lo and behold! Update! Happens to me all the time
 Secondly, I like the color scheme. And I like the rubber mat up-grade you made to the Klutz Kustom Karpets

Re: In Progress: Tamiya New Beetle
Looks great!
I finished my Tamiya NB in the mean time. This makes me want to get back to my 'evergreen' NB(mystery in my sig).

Re: In Progress: Tamiya New Beetle
Thanks for the comments, everyone!
I've gotten a bit more time to work on the Beetle, so I painted and detailed the chassis.  Pretty much straight out of the box. The chassis was airbrushed black, and drybrushed with grey to bring out the detail. Then I painted and heat stained the exhaust with Tamiya acrylics. The heat shielding around the exhaust train was done with BMF.  The engine underside detail seems kind of sparse, even for a curbside- maybe because it gets covered with an underplate. But I did some work on the brakes and drive shafts. The rubber CV boots were painted in grey and given a black wash, and the retaining clamps were added with thin strips of BMF. There, almost ready to put it all together. Thanks for looking!

Re: In Progress: Tamiya New Beetle
Looks good especially the drive shafts!
Maybe you want to do some drybrushing in the suspesion parts to bring them a bit more into synch with the weathering on the floor pan? End of year sprint, huh?
