That model is a lot smaller than I though. The body lines are pretty good. The fender flares could be cut back, and are a good candidate for water forming. This came out nice and has much potential.

If you like building cars, build this one, it is spectacular, make sure you check out the "Home Page" for a wide variety of unique and excellent models:

I think it would have turned out beautiful if my build skills were a lot better. I have his Herbie the Love Bug printed out as well. It is four pages with this as the first page.

I love Beetles also, but unless you form the Fenders using a wet forming technique, they always ruin the model. Those compound radii are extremely form in a credible fashion. The alternative is building the fenders up, making a filler, and sanding them smooth, the paint the whole model. :)

If you cut thr tabs of of those parts, then, using a Hard Rod with a Ball shape, you will be able to form them into rounder surfaces. When gluing times comes, use thin (in thickness) pieces of paper to glue them together, before the glue completely drives, make sure the seams are cut so no black lines remain, and use the tool to finish rounding them from the inside, and that should give you some pretty good looking fenders. :)
