Finally another update for my vw bus
First I want to do was the interior floor. I wanted a wooden floor so I bought some wood at the local hobbystore.
After making a template I cutted out the wood and also added some bars (?) on it with a darker kind of wood.
I also gave it a wash to create a used wooden floor.
And some smoke for some oil.
I lowered the suspension as much as possible. For this modification I had to remove the whole mudguard, and the wheels will hit the front seat :!:
I painted the chassis black and added a lot of rust on it. I also painted the engine and gave it a oil wash.
The wheels are painted black and also got some rust. The tyres got some whitewalls but I still have to wheater them. Now they are to clean.
The dashboard got a PE radio and PE speedtacho.
For the first time I used my airbrush to paint the seat. I wanted a light grey seat, and after that I added some Scale Motorsport Interior Upholstery decals on it.
The chassis could now assembled.
After placing the wooden floor, I also wanted some beetle parts on it. So I used my beetle spareparts and made them rusty and placed them in the bus.
The frontseat was also wheatered.
The dash was placed in the body. I also added some metal axles for the safari window.
On the body I added 2 more decals. One hoodride under the frontlight and the thrunk I added a rust is not a crime decal.
This is how it looks right now.
After my nightshift I have 3 free days, So it could be possible I finish this one very quick. 24th october I take this model to a contest in Netherland.
