Hi All,

I'm posting this under my old user name, instead of "Admin" to keep that screen name uncluttered.

This was painted by my wife, Diana. She is constantly making doodles of flowers,so it seemed like a natural. All the guidance I gave her was "Make it a hippie van" and this was the result.

I will be shooting some dullcote on it all, then I am thinking some judicious rust streaking.

I have printed some Nevada License plates, with my plate name "WY N8IV" -Wyoming Native, and need to cut some Evergreen card to mount the plate.

This was a fun build. I opted to not try and sort the steering gear issue for the time being, but have been working with DeAgostini on the problem.

Very cool! Love the hippie van idea, and tell your wife the painting turned out great.

I look forward to seeing the finished product with some rust streaks.
