Chris Greathouse
Poof.... And then there was more.... couldn't get the side doors to align/close, but I love VW bus's 🙂 at some point I'm going to get the T3 🙂 scalemates.com/kits/102435-revell-07344-volkswagen-t3-camper

Since you guys are into This Volkswagen, Stumbled across this thought you'd get a kick out of it.

Wonderful work Mate. There is nothing like a VW bus.
For a DoKa (double cabins) version look here, unfortunately sold out at the moment. A transkit for Hasegawa. scaleproduction.de/p..doka-bus--1966-.html

Chris Greathouse
That looks like one of their T2 double-cab pick-up trucks... yup, nothing like a VW Bus.... I can see myself having a dozen plus of the different T1/2/3 vehicles built

Chris Greathouse
@ Robert, Here's a bus for you 😛 scalemates.com/kits/171119-revell-7101-vw-polizei-bus

Bob Hall
Sweet, I could put it with the Beetle and the Mustang. When I was Stationed in Germany all I ever saw was BMW and Mercedes Polizei cars in Leipzig.

You can build a hundred pieces and everyone is a single lover piece 😄

Chris Greathouse
Adding pics with my photo booth, this was my 15th build...

This is the first time I have ever seen a "Painted Forest". Looks like a very efficient use of paint.

John Thomas
Very nice

Chris Greathouse
@Bill, What do you mean with the "Painted Forest"? And thanks John

Bill Newcomer
The picture with all the parts on sticks/alligator clips all clustered together. I have never seen that before.

When I was in Jr High my Aunt had a red and white VW window bus. (without the roof windows)

Chris Greathouse
Oh, gotcha... yeah I could see a "Painted Forest" in that pic... lol and I love VW bugs and busses, they're nice and shapely vehicles, and the bugs are surprisingly comfortable for a tall dude like me (6'3"/190cm) both the old-school bugs and new bugs...
