customsrus Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Here are a couple more older builds of mine. First we have Revell's micro-bus. Lower half of Monograms Testarossa molded to vw body. Chassis is the back half of the Testarossa grafted to the front half of the VW. Drive train is from the Tetarossa. It has a custom interior. Paint is Krylon gloss Teal and Ivory white. Up next is Tamiyas New Beetle mixed with Ferrari Mythos. Chassis is from the Mythos complete with engine. Modified wheel openings to fit frame. Interior is also from the Mythos modified to fit VW. Paint is Krylon Sun Yellow. Edited December 19, 2014 by customsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsrus Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) A few more. I noticed that tail pipe is missing on this. Hope I can find it. Edited December 19, 2014 by customsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan 191 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 On the beetle, it's cool how the lower windshield line turns into the top of the fender vent. The curve is even natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Very nice concepts, wonderfully implemented! On the beetle, it's cool how the lower windshield line turns into the top of the fender vent. The curve is even natural. Those were my thoughts!

I've only seen it in spray cans. Painted straight out of the can, then clear coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
