Custom VW Beetle 1969?

[Bennyg]

Hi fellas. Here is a beetle I completed. A fair bit of body work done including tail lights. Used pieces from 2 revell VW kits. Paint is Holden metallic purple. Wheels are from aoshima.

Sorry no pictures showing up.

I really want to see what you did on this as I'm in the process of building a '69 that I owned.

Are you posting photos from a free photo site such as photobucket.com ? That is the best and easiest way.

[Bennyg]

I'll have to some how get the photos into photo bucket from my iPad.

I have a '69 Beetle, is that it? Do you want to see one? 

This is directly from my iPad and probably very limited how many times you could do this. I would recommend using photobucket or some other photo host.

Hopefully that worked

RMVW Guy, yours looks pretty similar to the revell 1970 convertible VW. I used the convertible and 1968 combined to make mine.

Nice bugs..!

[rmvw guy]

Nice! Is that from your iPad or did you figure out how to use a host? I haven't done that yet, new to iPad myself.  Nice model though, which kit did you use?

[Bennyg]

I'm gathering it worked. I can see the pics. I'm technologically challenged.

Looks very nice, you have done the same thing that I have plans on doing by combining the 68 1200 sedan and the 70 1500 cabriolet. How did you do the conversion job?

[Bennyg]

I filled in the front air vents, and used the bumpers, tail lights and front seats seats from cabrielet. A lot of sanding and body work to get the lights right. I also got rid of the chrome trim. Pics are from my iPad.

Superb Ben, great colours and in the sun! Sorry we don't see much sun in the UK.

I like that.

Nice.

That came out looking wonderful! I've been eyeing the same process you did to get a '69, but just wish Revell had cast the tail lights separate from the fenders. I just hate to ruin that beautiful body just to rob the taillights.
