[MOC] Latest VW Beetle Minifigure Scale

[bamsham363]

The latest incarnation of my VW Beetle MOC, in minifigure scale. Incorporating new backend shaping to assist with the difficult matter of the curves. Enjoy

For this scale really good shapes.

Maybe front view is missing ...

Many Thanks,

I will add at some point a front view, although this hasn't really changes since my last iteration, which you can find in these forums or on flickr, just at work at the mo

Front as promised, feedback welcome and suggestions on anything you would want changing, thanks for your time.

I love it. You nailed the shape perfectly. Great use of the axe piece for the door hinge & mirrors.

many thanks, try and use that axe wherever possible in my mocs

 

also for steampunk fans/Syfy fans, just transformed this into an interpretation of a brilliant model "hover beetle" by Daxman called "RocketWagen" (http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/130952-rocketwagen/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/130952-rocketwagen/)
