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.
