StevenGuthmiller Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 The paint is better on this one, but I think I forgot to fill a sink mark. I guess I'm slipping. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yeah, but what year is it? And what SCALE is it? Get it? Scale, exoskeleton, beetle? Ahem. Ok, you got me. Funny joke. By the way - I think there's a small bug in the paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Where did you get yours ? The LHS keeps telling me that it's not going to be available until July ! I preordered 4 of them with a prepaid gift card that was part of a preheated oven that I bought on a preposition . Well , it looks like Lindbug went with that stupid 1/20 scale again !

berr13 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Dang. I love checking out your builds, and I was really interested in this one, seeming to be so far outside your usual interests. Ya got me good!! Is it a "classic" or "new" beetle? I can't tell from the angle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 So you're using Insects now instead of picnic spoons to try paint colors ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, but that was sort of my "inspiration" for pulling this stupid prank! I was out in my yard the other day & saw a little bright green beetle chasing ants around on my sidewalk. Of course when I went in for a closer look The whole "metallic green beetle" thing struck me. I just had to post it & see what sort of reaction I would get. I tried shooting a photo of the bug, but unfortunately, my photographic skills are very limited. So I opted for a stock photo, which I guess makes it a "stock metallic green beetle" ...........Sorry. Anyway, you have all been very good sports & if the moderators believe that this thread has outlived it's welcome in the "Under Glass" section, they are more than welcome to shut it down. Thanks guys! I enjoyed all of your responses! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
