Subaru Sambar LULU truck switch to Fotki

[Foxer]

This a Subaru Sambar kit by Aoshima which is an incredibly detailed kit I wanted to build just to see it. It's a very small truck which you can see in the nose to nose shot with a VW Bus.

My daughter has a dog care business called Love Us and Leave Us. It seemed to be just the right size for a pack of dogs, so I based the paint and decals on my daughters Subaru Outback she uses to take her dogs to the woods for a walk. The diorama for the truck was more fun making than the truck itself!

Looks great!!

Thanks, Chris.

The decals were just too transparent to show well, but it looks different at least.

Here's the final photos with the diorama. Outside under cloudy skies.

I like the way the body decals turned out. The wood racks look great. What I find most interesting is the chassis detailing and all the plumbing. Not sure what it's all for but it looks very realistic.

Thanks for your comments. I had to really study it to figure out what paint it wanted, not your usual chassis.

I meant to put a link to the On the Workbench thread

Very nice detailing on an unusual subject.

(Also glad to see that Ol' Gray has the common courtesy to do his business in private...)

He's an old member of the pack and knows how to behave.

Very well done. Detail n the under carriage is great. I really like the figures too! A great shot would be the woods back ground zoomed enough to crop out the wood from the base. ??

switched to Fotki and added more photos to the mix
