IT WORKS EVERYBODY! IT ACTUALLY WORKS! Before last night I had visions of having to attach a string to the chassis so I could pull it along and pretend it worked! Now my mind is at ease because my Beetle actually works! Im sure you guys were all just as excited when you finished your first build. Although I now realise my work is far from over. I am beginning to have doubts over how good my cutting skills actually are. I guess only time will tell, at least I have Stuart to help as I am sure I will need a great deal of help to carry out this task! I am glad to hear we are inspiring others to take on a Beetle build. The M-04L Chassis seems to have a bit of power within it, even though I am too scared to test its full capabilities for fear of crashing it! I now have a great appreciation for the time and effort it takes to complete a build and I understand the reluctance to want to drive it once it is complete. I just don't want to crash!

Thanks again guys! It's nice to know my loving Step Dad is trying to trade me off whilst I am offline....jks! A Sand Scorcher is all he seems to talk about these days! He is a very good teacher though, I am a person with no patience and I expected to get frustrated with the Beetle by now, but so far so good. I am hoping to catch on quickly as I have another build on the way.

That looks cool.....and the matt primer red would look great!

THANKS GUYS FOR THE WARM WELCOME! I CHECKED OUT ALL THE LINKS YOU GUYS LEFT, WHICH HAS GIVEN ME MANY IDEAS FOR THE PAINT WORK! I WILL DEFINITLEY LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE MADE A DECISION AND WILL BE SURE TO POST MANY PICTURES OF THE END PRODUCT!

Hey All! I am a new girl to the world of Tamiya...I thought I would say hello! I am currently doing my first build, a VW Beetle M 04L Chassis. I am building it bit by bit with my Step Dad, who you all know as Swarm. He is building his very own VW Beetle in order to teach me. Im thinking of doing it Box Art, which has caused him to think of new colours for his own. Any ideas to help us out....What colour are your Beetle's? What other body fits the Beetle Chassis? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
