Papa 695s VW Beetle ( Simons tribute build )

[Neil Merryweather]

Just superb modelling, Ian. I absolutely agree about giving the great Simon a run for his money. A very worthy tribute.

Hi Ian
Very convincing.

Thanks for the great comments guys, I’ve got the main colour on now.

[Guest]

Wow, the main colour really makes those rust effects pop out. Lovely!

[papa 695]

Back to work now, after the Christmas break. So the build will slow down a little now.

[papa 695]

Getting close to the finish line with this. Just some final touch ups and weathering, then the base.

That is one "Severely Knackered" Beetle Ian. Simon would love it. :thumb2: Rick H.

[Tim Marlow]

Looking good....in fact, looking like if you sneezed near it you would end up with a pile of rust rather than a car!

[grumpa]

I LOVE it!
I had one of these once, in about the same condition...except my seats were not as nice as yours.:smiling2:

Great job!

Jim.

Sincerest apologies, somehow got way behind on this.

That has come out beautifully. Very well done indeed.

Ian, like Andrew I missed this entirely, just had a read through. The transformation into a rusted heap is indeed something Simon would have done and loved.
Stunning modelling.

No problem I'm really glad you like it.

You can’t leave anything for 5 minutes, before the vandals start throwing bricks.

Ian. Looks great and a little tired

Hi Ian
That is coming on a treat. Right up Simon's street.
