My Kustom Bugs

Recommended Posts

Got inspired with all the nice custom works around here. So I readup all the tips and thought this should not be too difficult. Realized I was totatlly wrong. My worsening eyesight and shaky hands was no help at all.

1st - White
First successful custom after the other die cast drop down stair during drying Laughing . A bit plain, so looking out for suitable decal.


Try painting the interior and engine, which is real challenge for me.

2nd - Goldie
Playing around with Pelikan PLAKA-Lack gold flake paint here. Intent to achieve some gold flake on black baja but it dry up too fast. End up painting multiple layer to make it solid gold.

3rd - His VW Bug
By my misses for me. Actually, she just took over Razz when she saw the Daiso stickers.

Swap the wheels from Speed Racer. Tried to paint the 5 dots rim with black marker, but it look bad. Tried to clean but cannot Sad . Now the rims looks greyish. Planning to paint it white. Detail the tail lights.




This is a defective casting, the rear rivet has broke off from the base. Found another bug on the peg that is same defect, so check before you buy.
