Frog Scorcher - part 4

December 2009: Well, there comes a time when you've got to stop re-touching the paintwork, put the stickers on, and laquer it! Which is what I've finally managed to do this week! it was kinda fiddly getting all the details done - shut-lines, window rubbers, wipers etc etc. and I wouldn't say they are perfect - but I'm happy with the result for what is really the first time painting a plastic shell properly...

I decided to go with the retro colours and graphics - seemed appropriate for the Beetle really... I also tried to imcorporate a few 'realistic' details, such as the half open driver's window and sunroof. Not sure where to put the aerial yet - probably centrally through the rear window - the car is a runner, but with the aerial coiled inside at the moment. These are only a few snaps I took this evening - I plan to photograph it more realistically, then enjoy driving it! Hope you like it too! Jx
