I went for the Beetle body as I haven't done one before & wanted to see what I could do with it. I went for a 'Herbie On Steroids' (that would make a great movie, lol!) theme, painting the main body 'White Pearl' backed with white, the front wings 'Flat Red' & the rear wings & spoiler a custom mixed 'Blazing Blue'. I trimmed the bonnet, wings & engine bay for a more stripped down look. Loads of sponsor decals & the customary Herbie #53 with the vintage stripes giving it a ready to race look. I added Proline Trencher tyres to my new DE Racing Trinidad wheels with wheel nuts & painted the lettering on the tyres white to compliment the rest of the car.

Don't mean to be rude, your shells look fantastic bud, but you're making a new topic every time and the Gallery section is getting full of them.
Could you not make one topic for your shells like John Miller did  :good:
