Chuck Most Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 The van looks like it would be the ultimate shag wagon!
Wayne Buck Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 John, that is one SWEET combo! GREAT job as always! I bet the neighbors aren't too happy when they fire that baby up in the driveway!

crazyjim Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Whoeee! That's a great combo you did John. The paint is unreal. Sure would like to know how you did it (hint, hint )
John Teresi Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Whoeee! That's a great combo you did John. The paint is unreal. Sure would like to know how you did it (hint, hint ) Sure Jim........after all the prep work......I shot the van and boat with H.O.K. silver orion base coat......then I mixed some ultra silver mini flakes that I got from slixx decals.......I mixed them with clear and shot the van and boat with it .......after it dried for a day ......I shot just a clear coat to smooth everything out.......let that dry another day.......then I taped off and shot the Tamiya yellow...then I taped off the yellow and started shooting the kandy organic green.....then the kandy lime green.......then the kandy tangerine......all had to be taped off before shooting......the last was the H.O.K. black graphics .....for the circles I used round stickers that I bought from Michaels arts and crafts store.......I stuck the stickers weere i wanted them........ then I airbrushed the the stickers starting from the middle.....you want to barely spary the edges........for the arrows I cut a piece of paper shaped like a arrow......laid it against the side of the taped off area of the van and boat and moved it a little bit at a time forward as I airbrushed each arrow at the edges only.......then clear coated......if you have any questions please ask or p.m. me and I`ll answer any questions .......hope I helped ....thank`s
crazyjim Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Sounds like a lot of work, John. I guess that's something else I need to try. Your build was certainly worth it. Gorgeous combo.
Dominik Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 ...also the right trailer and van. Wow! Really fantastic combo.
mikelo Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Great combo. I really like the flake in the paint. And the cushions on the boat trailer. Thanks for the pics, since the pic in the mag is so small. One thing I wonder though, why are the directional wheels placed like they are? It looks like you did it that way intentionally as there are not two on any side going the same direction. Just curious. Mike
Models by Bear Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Sweet love the color combo on those.
Guest Johnny Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Cool paint on a really cool build! Love the old vans! Sure would hate to be the engine tuner on that boat!
dimaxion Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Amazing Eye candy . Just right in every detail . How many gallons per foot please ? What a great trio . . Thanx for sharing ...
mistermodel Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Wow,that nice.It's like a super vans magazine layout
