Dragonhawk1066 Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 That is nice! Great work, especially in such a small scale!
Aurora Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks for looking folks. Here's the starting point - the vintage Monogram vintage slot car parts and the vintage Airfix body. All the other parts were made from scrap materials.
oldscool Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 That's the nicest looking Airfix Beetle I have ever seen.
Aurora Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks for looking folks. I'm pleased to say that it runs great on the track, very smooth, quick and stable.
Venom Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Ooh, that’s an awesome one! ... Love the creativity. Great work!!!
Kromolly Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 That's really cool and well done. How about a video link of it going around the track? ?
christian-w Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 It looks great in this scale! The details and gimmicks making good on the track I can imagine, how it turns around the corners. Sweet

Yes, one these days I should take some video of me crashing slot cars. ? Until then, here it is being broken in on the track. I ran several 1-mile time trials and am happy to say that it runs very well.
Bainford Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Great looking Bug. Excellent work on the added details. Nice conversion to slot car. Well done.
garynygren Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 no matter what scale any VW is just cool. Would love to have one full size, well maybe someday. Gary
doorsovdoon Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 That looks great, love the roof rack, nice colour too. Is that an alien wearing goggles in the driver seat? Lol

Two drivers have taken a turn at the wheel; the Martian, and this guy. The Terminator was a little bit slower due to all that heavy metal.
