COOL WILLY GETS A NEW HELMET!!!

Not much room between the roof of the BuG and Willys head, so I decided to make a helmet for him.

First I wrapped a strip of Solder around Willys head and glued it in place. I applied putty behind the solder and started rounding out the Helmet area with putty.

Here are a couple of photos after the putty has been sanded a bit...

REVELL EMPI...MuD BuG!!!

I found this old sheet of decals that were perfect for the BuG!

The Inch Pincher Too!/Revell Empi Decals were a little brittle and broke up a bit, but I did manage to get them in place...

I painted the inside of the body with Light Tan. I also painted some details with Flat Black.

WE HAVE A ROLL BAR!!!

I made this Roll Bar with Flexible Plastic Rod...

I had to position the Bar outside the window because there was no room inside!

Next I cut lengths of Plastic Tubing and added more bracing to the Roll Bar.

I painted the Bars with Testors Aluminum.

I think this Cooler was from a Ferrari. It will be perfect for an Oil Cooler or Turbo Cooler!
