VDUB beetle dio

[kpnuts]

HI all here's what I'm building as a competition on another place.


Can't tell you what's going to happen to the poor fella, think of the warspite dio, there will be at least a couple of explosions, I have a feeling none of you will know where this is going till the last couple of posts.
There was a little flash on the parts but the worst bit of the kit is the awful mold seams on all the wings.

Cute

[kpnuts]

Here's a teaser for you (it will be a major part of the dio)

[kpnuts]

Hi all off on hols tomorrow for a week so this will be my last post till next week, I just hope I've not gone and given the surprise away with the next pics. I'm sure some of you will guess what it is.

[kpnuts]

Hi all well back off hols and here is the next update.

[kpnuts]

Hi all here is the next update.

This is all mightily intriguing

[kpnuts]

Well some people are so rude. I'm a member of Instagram ( I have been a member for a while but only really started posting model pics lately)I don't know much about social media but normally I just post pics with no explanation so I posted these pics as it gone along, after this update I got 80 likes in one day (that is the most I've had so far) well I got a private massage saying "you should stick to drawing this is crap my six yr old could do better"that's just plain rude, I don't know them, they don't know me, and obviously a lot of people like it, I don't know why people feel they have to make statements like that. I've looked ate some of their posts and they don't even build models (at least if they do they're so crap they don't post them)

Trolls, their aim is to offend and to get a reaction.

[Old Wombat]

They're also cowards, hiding in the faceless social-media-world.

Ignore the prat.

Hi all here's the next update (it may not look very pretty I accidentally stood on the engine) I've tried to fix it up a bit (it doesn't really matter as it won't be seen in the dio and anyway no one will be looking at the beetle.







Couldn't resist trying the body on it.

Hi all here is the next update.

[Old Wombat]

I have absolutely no idea where you're taking this, by the way, but I'm following where-ever you lead us! :)

[kpnuts]

Here is the next update, nearing the end now just need to finish the vdub then tie it all together.

[Old Wombat]

OK, there's a WotW element happening now!

[kpnuts]

Hi all well the vdub is finished, you can start to see why it's a poor vdub

Woh! Cool!

What's the thingy blowing up to the side?

[kpnuts]

It's where the heat ray has cut through a gas main under the pavement.

[Old Wombat]

Gotcha! :)

[Buzzbomb]

Too cool.
