Eero Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Hello! I have had this kind of painting theme in my mind for a while. I thought that it would fit quite well to a beetle. Also I'm building VW's quite a lot. I chose Gunze Sangyos oval window beetle, because it's curbside. I didn't want to focus on engine. So I tried to create something quite psychedelic, but still realistic. At interior I had somekind of show car in my mind. Once again, I opened the roof and scratch built the sun roof. The whole painting is painted freehand with brush. I used 1-Shot enamels and Alan Johnson brush. I also added some details, such as that eye ball to antenna and that mushroom gear shift knob. Please see also those exhaust pipes Wheels are classic BRM. Those are from Japan, and are made out of aluminium.

crazyjim Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I thought it was a decal - hand painted? Whoa. Super build.
Mike Kucaba Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 WOW!!! Very cool Eero! Those must be "magic" mushrooms, man! HMMMMMMM MUSHROOMS(think Homer Simpsons' voice) You should do that on paper and have a decal made.

Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 That is a really cool little Bug! I really like the wheels on it!
wisdonm Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Very well done. I'm going to steal that steering wheel for a stalled build of mine.
Monty Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Hand painted? Well, that surely sets you out from the crowd. That is fantastic work. Welcome to the forum. I agree, painting by hand is truly an art and your work is phenomenal. A definite mush-see! In a more serious vein, our new friend Eero also did this one, which I thought was impressive. (Go to his link to see more pics of this - great work!) Eero, can you explain the orange at the leading edge of the vent windows?
Foxer Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Beautiful painting, beautiful interior, beautiful build, just plain beautiful!
John Goschke Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Outstanding work on the VeeDub and the T-bird!
bbowser Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 That T-bird is great. The orange looks like lighting to me?
Sixx Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 The orange thing kinda looks like one of those plastic wing vent thingys...not sure what they are called I'm digging your builds Eero!!!!!!!!!!
