10 July 2000:
The internal panels were cut from styrene sheet and tailored to fit inside.
The edges were smoothed after glueing.
The same was done for the doors. Note the housing added to disguise the rotating link.
The roof was cut from styrene sheet and glued on.
30 July 2000:
Now
for the roof extension.The side panels
were cut and glued on the roof sides first. The shape is different from
conventional extensions and blend with the body profile.
The top part was
cut. The strengthening pressed sinks were first cut
out, then a styrene sheet was glued at the bottom side. The splitting
line
was engraved on the sheet.
The roof top was then fixed on the model as shown.
The roof was sanded, putty treated, and sanded again. Then the skirt flanges were cut and glued around the roof.
The below two pics show the general look of the model now.
The
rear cabinets were cut from styrene
sheet, tailored to fit to the inside. The items were then covered with
paper having a woody design.
Below are the finished pics of the left and right one,
respectively.
The right one is narrower than the left one, to make some more working
room in between and to have enough space to take the spare wheel out.
02 August 2000:
For
this part, I made use of the Revell-Monogram
VW Camper kit. I separated the cabinets and covered it with the same
woody
paper.
And
now the central table/cabinet was
made from scratch in the same manner as above.
The refrigerator bench finished. I noticed that I had not painted the handles, after I took the pic. Later they were painted on.
