Grumpa Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Mehmet, you've got a knack for building some fine looking cars, and this one is awesome!

crazyjim Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I love those little bugs. Your weathered bug is cool, but I really like the SHINY :)
Chuck Most Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Love it. It's amazing how natural those Magnum 500 wheels look on it.
volksrods Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for kind comments You could make copies of the door handle and horn grille. Take a small piece of clay or aluminum foil and take an impression of the existing pieces. Fill with 5-minute epoxy. When set up, pop the parts out, paint silver or foil them, and PRESTO! You have your missing parts! Since the running boards are not identical, but right and left sides, you would have to scratchbuild the missing running board out of styrene sheet... but that shouldn't be too hard to do. Thanks for your help Harry. Never tried clay as a mold. I use RTV silicone for my wheels and tires however using clay would be easier and quicker for small parts like door handles.
rmvw guy Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Useing the 5 minute epoxy to make parts is a good tip, I like that! I forgot to mention, I love the weathered VW also . A really cool pair of Bugs!!!

Alyn Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Very, very nice. Not over done, just perfect with the right changes to make it stand out. Seeing your car, I wish these old Beatles would make a come back.
Dominik Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Very clean built of the ragtop-beetle. I like the stance of it and (of course) the color. Beautiful! Edited July 24, 2012 by Dominik
Harry P. Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Seeing your car, I wish these old Beatles would make a come back. Not going to happen without John and George...
