Tamiya Herbie Montageby *LittleBigDave

Artisan Crafts / Other

In the middle is a pic of me holding my Tamiya R/C Herbie I had customized in 1997 to look like Herbie. When he was running, this little beauty had Herbie's personality down to a T.

The pictures surrounding the center pic give an idea of the shape he's in today. I'm debating investing some bucks into fixing him but I think it may be best to get a whole new body. Any R/C enthusiasts who may have any helpful suggestions are welcome to comment!

Original kit made by Tamiya

Herbie is copyrighted by Disney

dude I've just finished my m04L chassis, now to the paint job.. can you recall which main color did you use? tamiya corsa grey?

I commissioned an airbrush artist to do a custom job on this. He used some pictures I found on the web as a base for matching paint. Unfortunately I didn't find out exactly how he did it and since he's no longer with us I don't have any way of finding out, sorry.

I would like to see yours when it's completed, though!

sorry for your loss dude. I used white paint, printed decals instead of painting,my concern was the contrast between the white line and body. here is my beetle gallery, think you will like it.. [link]

No big deal, the guy wasn't a close friend or anything. I happened to hear about it when I moved back to Minnesota and stopped by the spot at Crossroads where he did his airbrush.

And yes, I just LOVE the Beetle gallery! Thanks for the link!
