Revell 1/24 VW Samba Bus

[Deleted member 3568]

HI all, ok so I sorted the chrome out but putting the candy colour over the top seems to have changed the chrome effect (I think in a quite pleasing way) I'm going to do a couple more coats of the cherry red candy then remove the masking then mask up the cherry red and do the chrome and then (cant decide on orange or emerald green candy on the top) personally I'm looking forward to see how it looks, I think It may be better than I visualized originally.

Great to see this back on track Ken.

Well Ken I'm all excited now, awaiting the unveiling. Not sure if it's going to be like Frankenstein's monster or a hippy VW.

Hi all well here is the next offering I, have had a bit of an accident (trying to cut corners) instead of masking it up with tape I used masking fluid and its reacted with the paint (I think when i put the light bezels on and the VW badge on the front it wont notice much)

Hi all well here is a tiny update I think I've hidden the damage from the masking fluid with a couple of strategically placed hippy flowers

Loving the weathering on the rear subframe


Not a fan of greens, but I don't mind that shade at all!


Will keep watching this

You really know how to make vehicles look well and used Ken. ( you didn't by chance in a previous life work under a pit did you as this realism is so far beyond belief. It takes weathering to a new high


Really grade 1 work


Cheers

Hi all well in my haste to move this from the leak I've lost the inner skin at the front so will have to model it with the front doors shut (don't think it will notice then) I thought I would add curtains to it, hope you like them.

 

[papa 695]

Very nice curtains Ken
