Here's the Hippie conversion of a VW Bus.
There are a few things that went wrong with it but it came out looking okay at the other end!
I know that there are points that could have been better (such as better sanding of filler at the back door) but I'm happy enough to call it finished, just need to get a display case for it.

Great job drew,really nice build, cheers tony
Nice work Drew looks a nice clean build , nice to see something different mate and with that colour scheme and decals it is a bit different I must say LOL.
Thats a great looking build.i wouldnt worry about the filler on the boot.I think it looks like rust bubbling under the paint just like you might get on the real thing.I like the magic mushroom mural decal.Brings back memories!.
hehe surely its way too clean for a hippie camper van
Looks great!

B****y hellfire! A Melanie fan!! I knew there must be more than 3 - which was the total number of folks I know who like her music.Originally Posted by homechild
I've only ever been to one live music show in my life (Sad I know!) and that was to see her when she appeared in Worcester 3 or 4 years ago. I think I worked out she was 61, but I was still absolutely thrilled to hear her. I wish I'd had the sense to go see her when she was at the top of her form.

PS Beautiful camper!
PPS My son in law is a VW fanatic and has one of these which he still uses occasionally for weekends on the coast. I bet he'd wish his was as good as yours!
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Yes, it is a bit clean but I'm going to dirty it up a little bit when I come to putting it in a display case, got some grass (no...not that kind!!) and some ground to put on so I'll be putting some road dust and such on the van. Don't want to put much more inside it. I think a Rolling Stone, Woodstock leaflet and bag are enough.
The body of it was an absolute nightmare to build. Not counting windows (which were all inserted individually) and door handles, the body came in at least 10 parts. Getting them all to line up was a challenge to say the least.
Gern, that's the only Melanie song I've ever heard. It's on a 4 disc Woodstock box-set I have and I just love her voice and the lyrics to that song. Definitely going to be checking out more of her stuff.
