Peter1 0 Posted June 27, 2009 Nice. You could have removed the diecast lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cham2020 0 Posted June 27, 2009 thanks..peter, i remove most of the lines, the ones you see are the one that i missed at the rear.......if you notice the original casting, the front have lots of lines which i already removed which is pain because it is metal...unlike my 1/24 model kits.....and i also puttied the front bumper area so that it will look more even Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly the casting here is poor, did you improve on it? Did you use a file to remove the diecast lines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you use a file to remove the diecast lines?file? what file? i don't think i get what you mean? i you talking about moulding lines, as i said i overlooked around the rear spoiler and the rear end.......my eyes aint sharp enough till i painted the body and the lines came out... as you said this is lousy casting, no matter how you improve, it still can't beat a well moulded body...

Rayz-HWC 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Peter...i guess cham2020 wasn't trying to go ALL the way with this Beetle Cup...just experimenting with 2 tone color and maybe trying to improve his knowledge on 'putty'..... cham2020...dude...remember i posted links at the Customs board....you saw the post where the guy uses this hand-held device, that can install many different heads....I'm trying to get a mate to score that from USA and send it over ...hope it works - sanding, filing, drilling, buffing etc...*by the way....take a pic next to the original car....others will see what you've done! ....for me, I want to learn how you 2 tone it smoothly from 1 color to the other....teach me SIFU!!

cham2020 0 Posted June 29, 2009 i haven't check the link yet rayz.....i will try to take photos to compare both cars later.......the two tone is not perfect due to i am using can sprays. photo hides the particles......but actually the transition from green to light green is not that smooth....... soorry to disaappoint rayz.....
