Hey fella's,
This is a project I started a while back but had to put it on hold when I broke part of my model kit. this one here is a 1/32 scale model of a 1950 bug. I outright stole some ideas from anemis for this and sonray had a valiant go at it too. let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions. He still has a little to go.
thanks for lookin fellas!

Wow that is REALLY impressive! What's left to do? :-?

Whenever I see someone pull off a custom G1 Bumblebee that's poseable and practical, I must take my hat off to them; it can't be too easy. Great stuff d00d. Then again, your stuff is usually great so I can't really expect anything less!

No,far from it,but perhaps the best one trying to convert classics bee to a beetle.

Ovaltine? oh,ha ha. :APPLAUSE:

... all i'm saying is that it's not the best bash in the world. it rocks,but it's impossible to turn classics bee into a toon-accurate bee.

Thanks for looking WJ? HA! I came here ... with popcorn.

I now have to run to Kmart and buy new shorts to get me through the day.

Hey now that is beautiful. OUTSTANDING WORK dude. I do have a question if you don't mind . When you cut up the bug parts to put on the bot. What kind of cutter did you use? I've thought of doing a similar technique of bashing, but if I used my dremel to separate the vehicle shell parts, then it would take too much plastic away. Was it a certain kind of dremel bit maybe, like one I don't have yet? Please respond.

. I really do want to use that technique so hook a brudda up.

Strange, I clicked this expecting to see a classics Mirage getting turned into a Bumblebee....

That is awesome, just the back looks a bit odd.
Other then that once again a awesome piece of work.

Sweet G1 Bumblebee! You hit the nail on the head with this one great work!

by **olokin** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 7:37 am

Thats probably the best BB custom I've ever seen! I can't believe you pulled it off. You're a genius at utilizing Classic TFs to achieve the ultimate G1 customs. Nice work. :grin:

OK seriously, I want to pay for a 2008 Volkswagen BB.

Disagree. The back is perfect.

This is one of the best customs I have ever seen. Yhis is one I would buy if I had the money!

I must admit that your work is fantastic... like a pro...

First off I love this work. I would like to see a Goldbug version of this mod. I think the classics BB lends itself to Goldbug better then G1 BB IMHO. :grin:
