This little van will be part of an ongoing diorama which features a blacksmith's shop and a Canadian Sexton.  The van will be placed on the cobblestone path in front of the building.   I'm planning a bright yellow with a bit of rust to juxtapose the dark green of the Sexton. The biggest challenge will be in building the interior of the van for use as a "portable metal worker's shop". I want to add a lot of nice detail to the open interior, but not so much that my effort is wasted on things which the viewer will never see. It's a Bronco. It's wonderful!  Like any other Bronco kit, it grows gradually from one tiny, little cell-sized part to the next. Eventually you've got a beautiful 1/35 duplicate of the original. I didn't bother attempting to capture each little step. But I can say that everything fits as designed. It's a wonderful little kit.   |

Looks like the perfect home for the delivery van, should make a nice pair with the Sexton.

Thanks for following, gents. I've got it to a ready for primer stage. With any civilian car, there's just a lot of parts to paint separately before final assembly. Surprisingly spacious for such a small vehicle.    |

Thanks. Do you think the dripping and staining over the rear corner is too much? This is my first run at rust effects and I figure that some of the best rust guys in the world run this forum so it might be a good place to ask advice. The acrylic paint is pretty much permanent at this point. But the rest is just tube oils and can be easily cleaned off over the next couple of days. Do you think I should leave it or go back and work it some more?  I just have this feeling that's it's missing something but can't decide what it is. |

I thought they looked great!!! Only one part looks it needs little more work... the rear right corner but that's my opinion. Keep it coming...

You'll figure it out John.
