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 :)


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 :)


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

Sounds like a great present, and I'm sure you'll do a great job on it Polux........ I'll look forward to seeing it.

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 three sapareted parts of the chassis, that should go painted on black, I realised a different paintwork.


I used the black primer, but.....I painted them "incorrectly".....leaving parts with the previous light grey colour.

I added an oil wash. I mixed raw umber and ultramarine deep (blue).

This is the result (sorry, tomorrow I will post a better photo).

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 :)


I added some old rust colour around the chassis.


View attachment 113898



I used the worn effects for the chipping.


View attachment 113899



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)

Thanks for looking


Polux
