I've been a bit less active here on Craftisian lately, but I've been working on a model I've wanted to make for many years. It's caused me quite a bit of headache, but I'm definitely happy with the final result.
The woods used are ash, oak, merbau, beli, beech, and wenge. The size of the VW Beetle is approximately 35 (L) x 16 (W) x 13 (H) cm.
As usual, Alex (LBD) helped me with the necessary instructions and corrections. (Many thanks, Alex)
Very nice, Jan. Now you've just made my choice more complex. I already have the VW Bus and the TukTuk. . . .but i really like the new addition to your catalogue. ahhhhhh, decisions, decisions, decisions.
A very cute and meticulously made model. 1971 I traveled from Rome YH to Munich with my best mate and a recently discharged US Army, Vietnam veteran in one of these beetles. He'd been to Stuttgart to pick up a brand new car off the production line. Fond memories. Great job Jan.......
Kerry - Working with wood, the smell the feel, is such a joy, its a meditation of sorts.
