Revell 1:24 1970 convertable beetle

[Guest]

Well here we go, have started my beetle, a lot happier working on a slightly bigger scale model, been following the build guide..... Though some of the colours may differ because i havent built up a decent amount yet. Please feel free to criticize or offer advice, promise i wont cry.

Are you going to introduce a "bit of wear 'n tear"?

Looking good, looks like a lovely model to build. Haven't done mine for a week now, got really bad withdrawal symptoms.

A bit more progress, was trying to make the subtle differences in the blacks, but went a bit far and got grey, im blaming the light, my wife is blaming my eyes, but im not to dissapointed with it...... Was good practice for my fine brush practice

Looks okay to me, but I am half blind anyway. Nice work so far though Amos.

Good work there. Love the fabric pockets looks like you could reach right in and pull out some mints.

Coming along nicely Amos, brings back memories of working on these things, always used to hide in the loo when one of these was the next job and I was up for it.
