Hey, I've been modifying model VWs for just over a year as I can yet afford a real one (I'm 16), I was wondering wether anyone else does the same sort of stuff, I've seen a few pics in the galleries that look cool so I was just wondering...

I'll post a couple of mine when my computer decides to start working Evil or Very Mad

I guess that photobucket site isn't working properly so here we go anyway

This is my bburago oval window 1/18th bug that I've lowered and detailled along with a lot of patina Twisted Evil

Also this is my late model squareback that's also been lowered on some audi rims, but they keep changing, soon gasburners Twisted Evil I also made a roofrack and a few accessories to go with it.

I've just ordered a 1/18th notchback so that'll probably get lowered so I'll post pictures then Wink

From the look of the textured front bumper, did that Beetle start off as a Gold-colored Millionth Beetle?

Make more. Sell them on ebay. Make them to order. I have seen other cars in this style sold. You should too.

It will be a way to start saving for a real one.

Good luck!
