Minor makeover..
Not alot to say here really..
I've made a few minor changes to this one, the most obvious being the wheels. It was an idea given to me by Volksrod a few years back. Basically it involves cutting the centres out of the Revell Kubelwagen kit and grafting them into the Tamiya wheels.
They suit the 'built at home' look I want for this car. Other changes are panel gap and side trim detailing, the primered section on the rear quarter panel was from when I was doing the side trim, the masking tape lifted some paint. I was going to repaint and blend it in but I kinda like the primer, it gives it a bit more of a used look...
I've also painted up another board so the boys have one each! It's a 1/10 replica of Fantuzzis' 1/1 board that was inspired by the 1/10 SS..
Hope you like!

That is superb. I really like what you have done on this one, most of these shots look so real, I thought from the thumbnail on the front page this was going to be a real car/reference post. Nice work.

Brilliant job! Looks beautiful. Love the wheels. What wheels are those?

Thanks. The wheels are Rough Rider rims with the custom centres from the Revell Kubelwagen kit.

Veri nice Beetle and an excellent location. I would be happy if i had a location like this to cruise around with my sand scorcher!!

Oh thanks, I thought they were one-piece wheels. Anyway, your work with those wheels is excellent. The whole VW bug is great.

Looks fantastic, a very realistic beetle color. I'll chime in about those great looking wheels as well, and the nod to the original SS with the surf board.

I like your SS especially the body light green color, you've done yourself this color? Great work! I hope my SS longboard inspired you for 1/10 longboard, but my name is Fabrizio. Fantuzzis' its another member with Sand Scorcher 1/1 surfboard? Ciao.
