JohnnyOThis is very impressive after a 30 yr absence. I'm just getting back into the hobby myself, and I'm envious of the detail you've been able to acheive. Very nice job.

Darius RThank you all for the kind words.
I think the VW van (and micro bus) have so much character, no matter how you paint or weather them they will look good. The Hasegawa version (although lacking the more details of the Revell version) is a good project if you want to spend less time on putting styrene together and concentrate more on the final look.
Now on to the next project.
Cheers 🙂

Curtis CadenThink it was great they way you stick built the glass holder on the side of the van. I concur with Johnnie O and am too envious of your details. Keep up the good work!

Darius RHello and thank you all for the kind words, the glass holder was fabricated out of brass profile (the main frame) and wood, i tried it with plastic at first but it was too fragile, I was sure i took some photos but can't seem to find them 🙁
