T@b 320 OffRoad 2010 caravan / scratch 1:25

[Reuhkapelti]

 

Hi there.

This is a model of my little caravan, that I pull around Finland during my summer holidays. I've had it now 4 years, and I'm pretty sure it's going to stay with me for many years to come.

 So I wanted to make a model of it too. No kit available, so I took a big pile of Evergreen plastics and started cutting and glueing.

 

Some minor errors and imperfections are visible, but I'm quite happy with the end result. 

 

 

 

 

 

VW T1 with Buick V6 turbo +intercooler and 4wd would be a suitable tow car for that tiny caravan.

Nice job 

BTW, is the camper van a modified kit? 

[Marco F.]

Your camper looks fantastic, and tow van is a real special custom thing.

Especially for a T1 "Bulli" I never thought about 4wd conversion.

Thumbs up, congratulation 😍😎

Hello Reuhkapelti. Great build. Looks really cool. Do you have any photographs showing how you built the caravan that you can share?

[Reuhkapelti]

Thanks everyone! The towing T1 Bulli is there to be inspected closer too. 

Here you can see the methods I used while building my T@b.

 

This is the start

Excellent! Brilliant scratchbuilding, I see a bit of carving going on as well don't I?

No shortage of reference material I imagine!!

How about a pic of the real thing just to finish it off?!

Nice job anyway! Camper's a bit radical!
