Thanks Steve, and good timing.

While doing the filling etc on the outside I started cracking on with the really fun part, the interior! No camper would be complete without a mattress, so I knocked one of those up, shaped to fit into the nose. Of course I scribed a pattern into it to roughly match the seat upholstery.

And here it is in place, with some other bits I'm working on. Bowl and hob are removable for painting, as is the tap (which is why it looks wonky)

My garden project is on hold at the minute as we're waiting for a delivery, so should get time tomorrow to make a start on the cupboards for the opposite side.

What a superb topic and your use of plasticard in making items is tops. She is defo one of the most unusual models I have seen and will make an outstanding talking point when done, please put her under cover so that she can be dust free as this will defo be one for the shelf. Top work so far Andy.

Hi Andy
I said on the first page that scratching an interior was well within your capabilities. I was dead right :smiling5::thumb2:
Looking great - well done.

Thanks for all the great comments folks!

There's all sorts of bits & bobs from around the shed thrown into it so far lol. A light coat of primer after these pictures showed up a few things that need fixing, but nothing major. Looking forward to doing the other side tomorrow, and fixing the floor.

Sorry if I don't always reply to you individually but I tend to run out of words! Just know that I appreciate all of your comments and reactions. And thanks as well to those that are just following along silently.
