Exotics_Builder Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I have until January 10 to finish this for the CARS in Miniature Club Banquet theme. Wish me luck! The idea is to do a mid-60's style VW bus as a Woody, but with applique as station wagons of that era were done. Had a little extra bleed through on the chrome strip separating the white from the orange, but BMF will take care of that. Needs a little touch up and then clear coating. Just a hint of what is going on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Getting closer. Here are most of major parts/subassemblies: Here is a better idea of the woody concept on this early 60's bus Conceptually, this is reminiscent of the 60’s wagons where the wood siding was an applique. I am attempting to recreate that here. Also, since this is applied to the body, I made allowances for gas filler and side vents. Since the doors create an asymmetric design, the wood effect reflects this. For the interior, I went with a tan naugahyde theme in keeping with older woody interiors. Since this is a mid-60’s theme, I placed a record player and some photo-reduced album covers as part of the interior layout. Even the roof area of the van gets some wood trim and I am working on how to get the surfboards and carrier mounted with clearance for the sliding canvas roof part. I have a week and a half to get this done. It will be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
