Yep! I will build a car :D :D :D


The reason....is a nice story.


My birthday was on June. And my best friend gave me an absolutely stunning present!!


I'm a reader, a fantasy reader! So I like to search some classic items, but sometimes is a difficult job. Well, I've been long time looking for an old book. Ladyhawke.


On my birthday, Anne, leave on my hands a FIRST edition of the mentioned book. Amazing!!!


She is a Mercedes Benz "consumer", but she has a secret love....the Volkswagen T1 :smiling3:


Her birthday is on January, so I have six months to think about it and find some present that can equal her one. Anyway, by the moment, I promised to Anne that I will build a T1, a flower power T1 :smiling3:


I have on my stash the T1 Samba Bus (Revell 1/24).....so let's go!!! Flowers around!!!

Flower Power! Now that sounds interesting Polux! It reminds me of


"When you go to San Francisco


Be sure, to wear some flowers in your hair"


Just a few weeks ago, I saw an old VW Beetle, painted with lots of flowers on it. Looking forward to your model. :cool:

The T1 looks better than the T3. It would be nice to see a T1 Camper Van with lowered suspension.


Nice work so far Polux

Good morning all!


An update :smiling3:


I added some old rust colour around the chassis.


View attachment 113898



I used the worn effects for the chipping.

This is the final result after a coat of grauviolett grey and black. (the chipping effect is subtle, but on real looks better than the photo. I have to change the settings of the camera.....the photos have strange colours)


View attachment 113900



Thanks for looking
