I'm in the process of designing an A2, not easy I tell you.

Good work Paul. I have pledged a donation.
A lego A2 is my dream; I currently have the following occupying space in my office...
Totally therapeutic the build; big boys toys indeed.
l love things like this.
You can see immediately that they are a great reproduction of the original while at the same time being so obviously "Lego"
To me t is a form of engineering and to be applauded.

Thanks you so much. I love the camper van. Designing the A2 is a bit tricky to say the least.
Agree totally Steve. Some of the building techniques involved are spectacular to say the least; a true feat of engineering to ensure that the finished product aligns with the production vehicle - SFAIRP.

The good thing about the Mini is the side arches are similar to the A2, might start using the lower part of the mini and go from there.
Good shout Paul; the parts themselves are windscreens if I am not mistaken. I have thought about contacting lego and might still do so; trouble is they are catering for a mass market and revenue, so it will likely be someone with skills such as yours that make a bespoke one vice an official product.

The project has now officially started, 400 bricks ordered only another 3600 more to get.
The new Beetle is the next one on my shopping list Paul. Have you by chance already purchased it and if so, what are your thoughts?
Cheers,

Yes I have it. Brilliant build with loads of detail. I highly recommend it.
Well, thanks to Mrs C and having a birthday last week, I was gifted the lego VW Beetle to add to the VW Camper Van, Mini Cooper and Ferrari F40 already part of the collection.
I was a tad sceptical that it wouldn't live up to the excellent camper and cooper, but I have to agree with you Paul, it is a fantastic model. It looks much better in the flesh than the photographs on the web. The techniques for the front wings and bonnet left me in awe, stunning creativity; a thoroughly enjoyable building experience and highly recommended for any car and lego enthusiast; age no barrier to the enjoyment to be had.
