Microbus from Convoy

[Jürgen M.]

Hi everyone,

I finalized my Convoy with this bus.

It's a downloaded 3D file which I edited to make it look more like the bus in the movie!

It's far from identical but I guess it'll do!

Enjoy!

And some pics to compare with the movie bus (No hippies)

Thanks for dropping in!

Love it! Well done. Maybe a second shelf is on the drawing board. 

[Jürgen M.]

Oh I doubt that.

I need a change. Want to try Out other things. Combine kits with printed stuff. New models.

The Convoy is completed!

Now comes new stuff!

Anyone know why posts sometimes get doubled?

Whatever you turn your hand to I'm sure it will be fascinating and you'll do a very good job of it. Look forward to seeing your next project.

You did an amazing job of recreating the last piece for your Convoy project!  Like Steve, I look forward to your next project.

Great Chartreuse Micro Bus Model  Jurgen !   Goes well with the others in your Convoy builds collection.

Only thing missing.        The eleven long haired friends of Jesus !    LOL

 

[Jürgen M.]

Thanks!

I thought it would be too much to comb so much hair! 😁

By the way, did you know that those Jesus freaks were Kris Kristofferson's band?

I knew that Kris was an accomplished  country artist but unaware that his band acted as the Friends of Jesus in the bus.

Yes they were. All except the reverend.
