Ag100 Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Ended up striping the paint back off this, when I had put a few coats on, there were a lot of underlying scratches that were clearly visible, will sand again and this time use a filler/primer spray first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Added a few more little details to the Monster Beetle interior, monster beetle manual and an advert for the Ford Fiesta Supersport (mine and my mates first cars) and some extra gauges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 It’s done, paint turned out ok, was never going to be perfect, but has a decent shine to it. The only thing I’m not happy with is the Black and silver detailing around the windows, I always find fine detail tricky as I have very shaky hands (not unlike a Meth Addict), so when painting these the paint spread, will try and tidy up, but the black is hard to cover. number plates are a nod to the model, Monster Beetle, his age and his three initials (MB 50 JRW) I think he will be pleased with it though. in terms of originality, it has had the following new parts, rest are as it was. stickers (2015 ones) Plastic servo cover (original missing) carbon front shock tower and rear shock mounts 3d printed interior wheels & Tires (original wheels chipped and tires bald) ESC/Servo/Transmiter and receiver Front light surrounds and VW badge (originals delaminated) Ball Bearings motor mount (upgraded aluminium) Rear Wheel hubs (upgraded aluminium) Front Bumper (original missing) So not one for the purist, but a useable/reliable example now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
