1/48 Tamiya VW aka Herbie the War Bug

[Quaralane]

Nicely done

 

[Junkie]

Cool!

Thanks T, Quaralane, and Scott!

I am gunned and rocketed up! As you can see I forgot to add the dash...so I will try some creative tweezer work to get it in there...we'll see! Then to add the hood and start work on the base...

 

[TRM]

LOL...Nice mod!! Big guns!! Nice fit!!!

 

[Grendels]

The gun is bigger than the car!!!

 

[Ravhin]

Big guns make everything better ;D

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys!

Yeah..you might be right-the recoil would probably send you into reverse

 

[Quaralane]

Better back that one up to something sturdy before firing anything.
Gun would likely put it in reverse, and the missiles might just flip it over with the rear mounted engine.

 

[Jeeves]

Probably right Quaralane...good thing this is all fictional

As I wait for paints on the other two builds, here is more work done on the base of the VW...





Wondering if I still need to work on getting the VW more set in to the base...and still have the signage to work on...nothing in my figure stash even resembles a zombie-- so I am not sure on that end...

 

[plummerfan16]

That looks awesome

 

[Grendels]

Looking good!

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys!

Started adding the signage and some Mig pigments....with their resin medium...and a little wet effects....

 

[Jeeves]

More work with pigments and wet effects...I also added one line to the pole...I figure most stuff like this would be scrounged us for salvage-- but leaving one kind of gives it more of a desolate look...like maybe folks are too afraid to come back for that last one...any thoughts?

 

[Jeeves]

Here she be- all done!

 

[Subhuman1]

The signs really add a lot of comedy and life to that little vignette, nice work!

 

[TRM]

Great job!!!
