    Depends on what you are trying to achieve?

    For me personally it looks like a veneer you'd get with mdf/chipboard rather than solid wood.

    This just my own personal opinion of course and in the interests of impartiality, other opinions are readily available.

            i dont think you could get closer to depicting a camper van interior without actually photographing one

            great job

                Raises an interesting question this does. No doubt at all you've got this spot on Alan, but could you get scale wood effects using bonsai trees?

                      Very nice work Alan, it looks really well modelled.

                      Almost reminds me of our old 1960's Vee Dub Splitter....except yours is far too posh. Fitted units? Even the two ring cooker was hidden in a cupboard and had to be dragged out to use it!!

                      Any fresh progress?

                      Cheers,

                      Ron

                              Alan, thanks for the update....That interior is really well done. Our old motor had a column gear shift and a hand brake that came out of the dashboard! Oh, and a bench seat in the front....very cosy!!!! Sweet memories and thanks for re-kindling them.

                              Keep those pictures coming please......
