23-window VW bus vignette
Been working on this for the last 3 days now and this is what I put together. Hope you all approve. If you look closely you'll see some bird eggs inside the right side headlight. The wheel lugs or bolts are on the ground next to the tireless axle.

Another masterful job, outstanding attention to detail and just the right amount of weathering. Even the torn & drooping headliner. Excellent!

Re: 23-window VW bus vignette
Outstanding! Imaginative and very well done. One small quibble is that you'll need a small conical bearing cap on the outside of the brake drum. This is pried off to access the wheel bearing adjustment nut, and also locates the rim on the drum. The drum just looks a little naked without it. Great job!

Thank you for this tip. When I was searching for reference photos I had a hard time finding a photo of just this particular area. Otherwise I.would have included it. If you have any photos of this area please share. Thanks.

Skitbra !! Very good job, and the weathering and rust job is so real !
Maybe it will be the VW pickup next time ;-)
