waiting on 3printed  Tires, waiting for the ordered Putty and so on , i started another longterm Project. This popped sometimes ago up, as i see the absolutley stunning Diorama "Windys Books Cafe" from Mister Yasu Okugawa  aka Doozy. Here is a Example of this beautiful Artwork.

 

 Yes Modelling is possible without Guns ....lol  

I want to make a Diorama around Summer, Girls and Fun, the Dream of a Single old man  :winky:
Based on the Revell VW Samba Minivan, modified to something like a Food or Coffeetruck. Girls with Vespas , Beachbuggies,  Surfers and so on. All Hollywoodlike, no Rivetcounting  😄
First i build the Cabintes and Workplace in the Bus with leftover Wood from my Old West Builds

I have the T1 Westphalia Camper, only for the Windows , the Interior is worthless. Rude and no good details. As example the Sink is very shallow, so  Iam waiting for a real Metalsink from Etsy. This will be a bit to big, hope i can modifiy it for my needs.

Made a little Progress, a small Board to serve the Coffee, and a drawer for Spoons or something.

Now i tried to build a Espresso machine from Scratch. there are several 3D Files, but i havent a Printer and all of them are not what i want. So i will glue some Plasticart togehther, eventually a LED for Lighting. Thats how it looks so far.

Hello, news from Bugs Beach ! Since i have finished my AVUS Project, i need something to relax. So i paint and Weathered the BullyChassis and Interior. The Chassis became a Glossy Black Primer from Green Stuff World, Oversprayed roughly with Createx "Iron Oxide Transparent", then different AK Washings and some cheap pastel Chalks.

 

 

 

The Floor , real Wood, is colorod like my Old West Houses, with Oil Pencils and AK Dark Wash. Seats Painted with Vallejo and very thinned Oil Wash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cabinets becom a thinned Layer of Yellow Ocre and Umbra Oil, then a more transparent painting with verythinned Grey Acryl. Overnight i leave it to dry, then i sand and scrab this down to the bare Wood and give it a wash with Oil. This achieve the sometimes modern vitage & Shabby Look The Countetops painted with Oilcolors Dark Brown and umbra. Then get a2 layers of Semigloss Vallejo Clear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i added fake Doorhinges on the Countetop. made with small Brasstube and Pins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ready for inspection......

Good to see this one back in work. You've added some great detail. Those red front seats look like real vinyl. Probably the best I've seen in a very long time. The figure looks just right.
