Revved Up and Off Caravaning

 My new "bodge-job" is inspired by the wondrous Hot Wheels redlines Revvers camper, a beautifully sleek yellow caravan done the way only Mattel knew how.

Here's Mattel's wonder.

Wanting something die-cast size I began with a cheapo coach.

I then cladded it in plastic to mimic the square edges and swept rear.


Problems arose painting the base silver. It just clogged for some reason so I scraped it off, forgot about it and painted the top lemon yellow. A couple of final coats mixed with PVA should give it a smooth finish.
