    Default VW Kombi Van

    This one was fun, not quite finished as you can see. Pretty much thought about it and made it as I designed it in my head...windscreen was a muck around and far to finnicky. Though I love the look of the recessed windows etc I am thinking of making shaped brands for them and branding straight onto the wood then paining them black or silver, at least for the toys anyways, for the scale model/toy I guess I'll just have to do it this way. It is a little rough around the windscreed, those blacklines are hateful!! But luckily this is a practise run and will become a gift for one of my wifes work colleagues. Definately have to try harder for the other.

    Very nice indeed.

    Especially like the nose job! How did you do that? Did you shape the timbers first, glue together then shape to suit the model or some other way?
