Love At First Sight - VW Samba


Recommended Posts

originally posted in the vehicles section but just as much a diorama I suppose :)

 

This model ticked off a number of firsts for me in model building....first 'civilian' vehicle, first 1/24 scale, first salt and hairspray weathering, so was really an ongoing experiment all the way through.

 

The bus is the excellent Revell 1/24 Samba bus. The side doors, load bay and engine cover all open but the front door hinges were so fragile that I glued them shut. The figures are Masterbox and the wall is made from an old piece of laminate flooring painted to look like a concrete wall, with AK graffiti transfers.  Paint was Vallejo, Tamiya and some oils for weathering.  All comments and constructive criticism welcome.

Now you need to do 2 more dio's, one with it being repaired in a garage (parts and panels everywhere), and one with it all shiny in a driveway.:devil:🚐

 

Seriously well done!
