    Road legal barn find

    Here we go then, first build in a good few months. Tamiya 1966 Volkswagen Beetle, built straight from the box. Very enjoyable build too, I wanted a nice looking Dub in pale blue but got lost along the way lol. So now it's a restored barn find with the rust cleaned and lacquered, new chrome and parts to get it running. Started with a base coat of oxide primer then used masking fluid for the rust, airbrushed in pale blue then the fluid was taken off with a good rub with an old stiff brush.

        That is top work my friend. Only thing missing is the price on the "for sale" sign.

        5 well earned stars for that one.
