Atmobil Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I'm calling this one done. I do feel that this could have turned out a little better but as we all know, a rush job is a bad job and this was rushed to finished state before the weekend. I painted the body on thursday and I had plans on a spectacular paintjob with graphics but had to settle for satin black and added some skull-and-bones from Revells old 1:25 bajabug kit "Killer Bee". I also would have liked to see it wider, with wider wheels front and back and some bumpers/protection front and back and also some weathering but I did not have time to do so and since I got lots of kits and several ongoing projects I'm putting this on the shelf and say that it is done.
Draggon Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 That's great Gaute, brought a huge smile to my face. I love it!

Sixties Sam Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Very cool! Looks like it's ready for a run in the sand!Sam
Atmobil Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Thank you very much guys I am contemplating a slight weathering job on this one so maybe I will do that and add some updated pics sometime later.
Jeepxj Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Very cool car,looks mean with those graphics..And you did a great job on the background.Great work.
russosborne Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Looks just like a lot of the 1:1 cars that used to be real popular here in Phoenix 30-40 years ago.Very nice.Russ
PatW Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Just the job Atmobil great build. I've recently bought one of the Baja resin kits mentioned on here, so this is going to inspire me to start it, thanks for sharing.
rustybill1960 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Beautifully done Build Gaute!! It is some much needed "inspiration" for my own stalled project Thank You for sharing Later Russ
Dann Tier Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 OUTSTANDING!!!, i love this tough little bugger!!!!
youpey Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 I hate to bump up old threads but this model got me to take a look at vw beetles again. I had not remembered that they were discontinued after this year. After further research I found they stopped building them in June or July. Before it was too late I traded in my 1:1 Ford for a new 1:1 beetle
