VW Karmann Ghia back on

After almost a year in the box, VW Karmann makes appearance on my bench again.
Time to finish this baby.

Sanded the factory seats details off, and sculpted the leather covers in duro.


Made the floormats.
Probably will not be visible, but some nice unusual ruber weathering techniques.

Dashboard finished.

Before i can close the cabin i need to make the ukulele for the back seat.





FT 17 creating the base

Decided to add the second figure to minimise the empty space around the tank.
Used some body parts from the spare box, and combined them into the shape of the rider.
Now i will shave the plastic, and start sculpting the kradmantel.
Motorbike is an Zundapp K800 from Swash design.
Hornet heads, and hands.


Ground was made using Woodland Scenics plaster, some soil, and white glue.

Plants,  trees, and grass added.


Sculpting the motorcyclist figure.
Belt, straps, sling, shoulder pads, and buttons still to add.



Started painting the figures by applying the acrylic base coat.

Some slings, and straps to add.

...straps and slings ready. Fixed onto the bike, and placed on the base.







Beute FT 17 ready

The tank is ready. Now i will build small vignette of one german painting the maltese crosses on.
