A 23-window rusted VW buss vingnette

[tiking]

Been working on this for the last 3 days now and this is what I put together. Hope you all approve. If you look closely you'll see some bird eggs inside the right side headlight opening.

[tiking]

Thanks. Yes. The vegetation are real. The pine trees I scratch built using dowels and real plants.

Fantastic work! I think I just found a new wallpaper for my Mac. The trees look awesome, and the bird eggs are a nice touch. That is the same bus I have always wanted to own.

Looking good Tiking, can't go wrong with a subject like the VW bus.
Just one small thing, I think you forgot to remove the two seams on the rear of the bus.
That's a bit of a shame, on a great looking bus like yours.
For the rest, keep it coming!!!

I cannot understand why I thought this was part of the vehicle. Seriously, I must be really stupid or blind. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will rectify it.

Decided to take it one more step. So I cut of the area that represented the closed sky view canvas and replace it with 3 braces and worn out canvas. Hope you like it.

[bullardino]

I love the way you put the canvas, but wouldn't it be better if you dirty up a little more the floor? Without a ceiling and under a tree it would be much more filthy, in my opinion.

[tiking]

Sure. It could also mean that the new owner cleaned it up a bit before towing it home.

[406 Silverado]

Love the canvas improvement. It's 50/50 with the inside. If it's still being used it may have been cleaned up . Tough call

[tiking]

Some more updates. Sorry for the photos. The storage compartment door is closed halfway and the back right lights(broken are in place. Also toned down the rust on the on the right side a little.
