1/24 scale beetle

[eddiesolo]

This is one of my attempts and not my first.














I think yours looks superb, great work, honestly. The only tip is that it looks too scratched, if that makes any sense, just my opinion and certainly doesn't detract from the excellent work.

That's a first attempt?? Cracking looking beetle and the rust is all in the right places, defo think Si ( eddiesolo) may have a run for his money!!!


However in a way it's nice to have a little healthy competition


( only joking )


This looks really nice indeed


Well done

Love the fading of the paint work on your motor great detail I think .


The for sale sign what a nice touch.


It is a different type of rust to mine .


Your car looks well used but still runs .


I take on board what you say about to many scratches and I see what you mean .

Thanks, glad you like it.


Yours is more static rust, left to rot look.


Saying that, you say you have it on a dio board, I suppose if you get items around it, or leaning on it it would scratch it. One thing to watch is scale, due to the size, most scratches would be light.

I doubt it mate, if the dio looks like your model then I am sure it will look superb.

Here it is on the dio what's your thoughts

Diorama base pics added if anybody was interested in taking a look .


Cheers pikeman

I like that a lot, looks superb in that setting.


Here is my abandoned Alfa, slightly different in setting but you get the idea, may help in certain rust areas.


Not that I think you need any help, I like doing rusty knackered stuff but I am not the best at all things rusty, defo think you have nailed it.

This scene really brings out all the work on the car.


The rough and crappy looking groundwork(in a good way) blends well with the car and the whole scene is excellent.

Well done model and diorama. I like it a lot despite its being so "busy".


Ps.Sometimes less is more...
