VW Samba Bus

[spud]

lol ya i was going to leave it but it annoued me . and it was thats why i went over it with Milliput ill sand it smooth tomorrow and see how it looks either way it will get done tomorrow any bad bit will get hid with moss ;D

 

[spud]

right im pretty happy with the results ive jumt went over it with some tamiya putty to fill any bad seems so ill sand this tonight or tomorrow and give it a coat of primer.

if its still not 100% then it will get plenty of moss in them areas

Hey Spud, any little pits you may end with will just help the rust effect.

 

[spud]

ya thats why im not worried about how it will turn out. the sides were a bit wavy thats mainly why its on and the top needed a bit for a chip and a seem

 

[Chris S]

Looks like yer gettin there Spud ,must be good to go now ?

Chris.

 

[spud]

The sides are perfect now gave them all a coat of primer last night to see how it looked. The roof is not so but the windows look better the big patch is showing its seem so I'll go over it once more with some filler and smoothe it Dow just to hide that but overall I'm happy with it
