discussion 1/24 scale beetle

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.

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...
