Vehicles: Re-grouping in the Ghost Roads: Laundryverse diorama

The base of the vehicle came together nicely. I went for a lovely bright yellow floor but weathered it a bit too much.  

The chairs a brown leather, they’ve been cleaned up a bit. 

 

The under carriage is beautiful, Zvezda did a great job. 

Quite a lot of Siberian dirt clinging to the bottom of the vehicle, quite pleased with that. 

This was easier to do than it looks! 

Repainted the floor and touched up the cabin. Should have varnished it! 

 

Did the base colour of the hull on the sprue. 

Test fit of the vehicle with the figures made so far. I think the hats could be an issue with the roof. I’ll probably not glue it down but even so this is an issue coming up. 

My fine brushing of the window rubber is poor and the weathering is a bit OTT. In my defence I was in an advanced state of refreshment by this point. 

The figures do look pretty good in situ. Mo, in the scarlet dress - if that is who I cast this figure as - looks like she is midway through casting a spell, mainly because the model’s umbrella fell on the floor 🙂.
The seats eventually came out ok but I managed to get the bench back to front. It’s not that visible but the figures aren’t as stable. The picnic table was a bugger to get right, I eventually dry brushed it with aluminium until it looked like a battered tray.  

The sides and back of the van look good, and Zvezda did a good job making the bits go together… most of the time. But joining up the floor and undercarriage with both sides and getting them straight was a right pain. I probably did several things wrong during construction. Much superglue was used.  

Love the detail of the fuel cap and the metal step, really nice. Very few panel lines needed sanding. The indicator bulbs should go in the hole at the right if the panel but I couldn’t get it to fit so gave up. They were pretty too. Probably another mistake.
