Filter Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) thank you, here are some detail close ups: the missing clock decal has been replaced of course Edited January 25, 2015 by Filter
mikemopar70 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Sometimes, we post a picture of a real car we are depicting as a model, i really tought it was the case here... Your VW look real, it mistaken me.. Very nice looking model! Good job...
unclescott58 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Yea, I was going to say, no fair posting pictures of rear cars. Obviously you did a very good job on this. Scott
cobraman Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Ya know, in a couple of those photo's it does look real. Nice work !
Helix Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Most impressive Axel, love the typical 80s music collection there, I'm a big fan of 'Kraftwerk'
atomicholiday Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 How did you get the tires to look so real?
Filter Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) thanks to all for the kind words Most impressive Axel, love the typical 80s music collection there, I'm a big fan of 'Kraftwerk' you have a good taste! i love them and most electronic music from the 80s How did you get the tires to look so real? i sanded the tires all around slightly with 400 grit and additional drybrush the tread with a medium grey, pretty easy to do Edited January 25, 2015 by Filter
Toast Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 One: The forced perspective of your pictures really does make it look real. Bravo Two: As Ray pointed out, awesome choice of music in the back seat. very fitting for this rig. And the German techno on top is a nice nod. Three: A pack of cigarettes! How?! Very nice work.
Daddyfink Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 That is a super clean build! Nice job and great pics!
Intmd8r Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Wow - that's pretty realistic! My only criticism is where's the rust!? ? My wife comes from a long line of VW owners and I swear that they all have rust from the assembly line. Again, good work!
Erik Smith Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice! Great work. If it looks real, you have succeeded. It looks real.
W-409 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 This build subject is not exactly my style or something that I usually might post a comment, but.... WOW!!! This is incredible! When looking at the pics I thought it was a real car at first, until I realized that it has to be a model. Really nice and clean work, smooth paint job and very clean job painting the rubber trim on that body. It has always been very tricky for me (Probably because I rarely build so new cars that I don't practise it often). Good job in the interior as well, those little details finish it off.
slusher Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very clean and super nice build. Very realistic detailing...
seeker589 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I did a double take on the first picture! Suspended disbelief is the goal- you nailed it!
oldrevellfan Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very, very nice built model ! Look so real !
Mr Stock Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 That is fantastic work, I knew this kit would be a good one, I love the added detail with the LP's and JPS cigarette packet. Very impressive!.
