Episode3 of the "Beat up Beetle" build. Tamiya 1/24 1966 VW Beetle (first attempt at a car)

Yet another video of the Tamiya 1/24 1966 VW "Beat up Beetle" build. This is my first attempt at a car (non amour) and my first attempt at a rusted car. Please comment with hints and tips on getting a beat up look for a car. It has been fun so far and I am liking the results. See how I feel when it comes time to soften the plastic for dents and adding some rust holes in the body (if I am game enough to try that). Hope you enjoy and please subscribe if you havent already.

Thanks mate. 2 weeks away from it coming up. Sucks a bit. Then I will be back and it’s Grandfinal weekend. Not sure how much I will get done.
