Hey All,

Well i've finally got around to finishing the sand scorcher build, i've always wanted one and those who know me will know im a complete vdub nut so anything beetle and im there !!

This has being my first ever build and i really enjoyed it, spraying ABS shell is sooooooo much easier than lexan


It was sprayed in white and french blue - came out a little darker than i thought but i still like it and am getting a kamtec body to use with it too, thats going to be sprayed very hippyish though

The tamiya manual was great, i followed the pictures for 6  pages before i realised that there was english instructions on there too !!      YEP I AM BLONDE BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT  

Anyway here's the finished bug and link to album build (i hope )




SS Build :

Thanks for all the comments guys

I really enjoyed the build and all the detailing was great, its the little details that make the difference

Nop its not going to be a shelf queen - im getting a kamtec shell that i'll be running on it most of the time

Oh and it'll be getting all the blingy bumpers and wheel rims too
