When you have so much time on your hands, you have to keep yourself busy with things that may seem childish, immature, or whatever. Well, my "drug" of choice is plastic models. If you haven't figured out, I'm into Volkswagen, don't ask me why, because you're the exact person that wouldn't understand. Once you're in, you're in, and when you leave, you'll come back eventually. There's just something addictive about it. I can't tell you what it is, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Back to the point, I'm into Volkswagen's, and during this month of being off, I decided to take on a very delicate, and frustration causing project that to some may seem like a waste of money, to others a special art that seems to be on the verge of forgotten. Back in 1996, Volkswagen did something no other car company ventured to do. Forget the 2-toned paint jobs, Volkswagen made a 4 color golf; the Harlequin. The four colors are basically red, yellow, green, and blue. But these weren't your ordinary bland colors, these were special. Tornado red, ginster yellow, pistacio green, and lastly, chagall blue. Between these for colors, Volkswagen "produced" 284 of these special Edition Harlequins, and before you say, "yuck, ugly, gross or vomit", realize that it's a rare car, and have respect for what it is. Well, I love the things, and I decided to take upon the task of painted a 1:25th scale golf like one. First, I'll show you a picture of what a Harlequin looks like, and then, I'll show you a couple pictures of the progress I've made on my model so far.
