According to this picture from wikipedia he had some rust on him at some point in the film.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbie#/media/File:Herbrust.jpg<br /><br />So I guess I could have rusted this one up a bit... Ah well, I have lots more to do.

I was tempted to do some weathering and rust to give it a real scratch-built-by-a-mad-mechanic look, but (as Terry's pointed out below) I was also kind of going for a Herbie the Love Bug look and all the reference pictures I could find show it always looking clean and shiny (though I'm sure as I child there was one show where it was looking dirty and dilapidated, but perhaps I'm mixing memories up...?) timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-47539984636966352862017-04-27T15:05:08.969-07:002017-04-27T15:05:08.969-07:00I was wondering if anyone would notice.
