That was a couple of weeks ago. After a lot of painting this is where I am at.

Looks good so far; the green bodywork especially so!

Nice one. I think it is still possible to buy beach buggy kits to convert old VW Beetles. I note the Austrian and Swiss options on the number plates. I've been to both countries on numerous occasions. Best of luck finding a decent beach with sand dunes for your buggy in either

The VW Buggy went together very easily. I used Mr Hobby metallic green which I thought comes up very nicely.

The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

Just noticed the front left tyre wasn't on properly. Easy to fix that but can't be bothered to take and upload another photo to replace that last one!

Looking great

Wow! I love that metallic green!

Neat little beach diorama too!


Nicely done, sir.

A pleasant change from the usual subjects, nicely turned out.

Cheers,

David

Utterly convincing, how you've done the figure really sets it off

Brilliant job! That looks an absolute treat!

Nice one, that really did turn out well

Cool work!

My first completion of 2018 is an Academy 1/72 B-17F Flying Fortress. The decals were supplied by Kitsworld.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Moving swiftly on. My next build is for a group build titled "Good Morning Vietnam" with my local IMPS. My selection for this is:



At the moment I only have sprues to show for this kit.

Nice B-17, and the A-37 is a nice little kit as I recall; I built it in ROK display team colours and don't remember any real bad points
