Claude Thibodeau Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Hi! Just a quick curbside to bust the winter blues! Revell's VW NewBeetle mashed with Revell's PT cruiser. Wheels from Snap 57 Chevy. Tamya's racing white with home-made decals for sides, seat and luxury cargo. Testor's Wetlook clear. I guess that's how they would deliver the goods on Rodeo Drive... This VW is often described as a "chick's car". With the Burberry livery, ladies seem to relate to it even more! CT
Atmobil Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 I like it. Great to see something cool done with both the new beetle and the pt cruiser (that I belive seem to get equal amounts of hate from people around the world). That would be a cool looking car in real life aswell that would be a headturner on the streets.
Ahajmano Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 I like it, and I think my kids would love it! Very creative.
espo Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 This is really nice looking. The two bodies are blended perfectly and the plaid pattern on the sides looks good also.
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 Hi! Thanks for the comments. Upon building, I was amazed at how well the PT upper structure fitted the Bug lower body. Width at the top of the doors, lenght of the cabin, base of the PT windshield and cowl of thwe VW. truly, the major surgery took place at the rear: shortening the hatch and re-forming the bumper. I suspect I could also mash-up the remaining roof unit of the VW with the PT remaining lower section: a bulbous PT "coupe" would emerge... Maybe next winter? Hours of fun with styrene! CT
dustym Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 That is very nice. Great job on something a little different.
mod3l Lover Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Wow!! I didn't see that coming! I love it, and it is the perfect execution on that type of build too. Where are the plaid decals from, I like 'em!! David S.
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Hi David! Thanks for the comments. I searched via Google for BURBERRY CLOTH or PLAID... And it came up. I downloaded it, and sized it via Word software, then printed it on white decal paper. The Burberry LOGO was found the same way, but printed on clear decal paper. Would you believe it, I was searching for the VW logo, and found one IN THE EXACT BURBERRY PATTERN!!! I couldn't believe it. Fate, I guess... CT
bbowser Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 That is just wrong, and I love it! Great concept and execution.
