papa 695s 1/24 Samba Bus

I've got the seats weathered and fitted, I also panted a gold trim rather than silver on the out side and added a little rust spots on the bodywork.

Hi Ian, this is progressing well. Was the gold line just done using masking tape? 

 

[papa 695]

Hi Gwyn I masked off both sides of the line then sprayed black, then Vallejo Metal Colour Gold.

just finished one of these. Its a nice kit but dry fitting the sides roof and doors is a must to get them fitting properly

Nice work Ian, excellent paint job.....


Ah, the bench seat. I remember when my wife and I bought our Samba V.W. way back in '71 and we would go for a drive and find somewhere nice and quiet. No need to 'climb in the back'. I remember once when we were on the front seats having a right good................

Thanks Ian.


After putting the Silver over the black while still wet I put cling film on and gave it a scrunch to leave this pattern. 

 

[Ian M]

Nice trick. I'll try to remember that.


I must admit, watching this come together has given me an itch to do another one. Might even go for the 1/16 scale one. I have a plan....


Also I like the used but not abused interior... Can't have been Ron's van!

 

[eddiesolo]

About time I called back on this one Ian.


Super work, love the colour scheme and the worn look...well I would wouldn't I :D

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one, I've got the sides on and added a little detail on one of the seats.

Coming along very nicely.


I do like the sticky tape on the seat.
