Tried to send pic didn't work Welcome to my world...I'm not very computer literate. I had trouble with posting pics for awhile. I was over thinkin' the process. Which photo hosting site are you using? What I do is take a few pics and put them in my file.. keep in mind they will not post if over 1000kb (kilobits). When you go to your "reply" box st the top of the screen here and open it you should see the word "attachment"... click on that and a little menu will pop up.. select "pictures" then select the picture you want then hit "open" at the bottom of the box or "ok".. this should attach it as long as the picture file isnt too big.. that's what I do .. |

Got home this morning and wanted to work on the little buggy. However when I looked at the desk i work on, something was off. I'll show you.  Thats my desk, my tools but i keep my work space tidy. Oh and look at that someone has started working on the second buggy I got. My first thought is Modeling elves. Real it's my wife (Laughing Doe) . No Stopping her now, looks like she has a plan.  |

 I did some progress too... I made the underbelly, the central part is from the X-Wing kit, the wheels are from the VW body. Hey Briz, I'm not really into the sci-fi stuff but, that thing is cool. Great use of existing parts. Thank you Yekoms!  I don't trash anything, kind of a model part hoarder... |

![]()  This is my wife's super beetle. His name was Eugene. He was the love of her life. She and her father rebuilt the motor and trans in their garage. Eugene had a bondo'ed hood and quarter panel and a bad habit of flooding at stop lights. But She loved him more then anything. Hope she'll like a Car-toon version.  just needs a few touch ups and pics with better light. |
