Ron Dayes Posted September 8, 2016 Hello fellow City friends, I've just finished a Volkswagen T3 camping edition "Westfalia", "Caravelle CL" and a standard. The scale used is 1/42 and regarded by myself as minifig/city scale, for it uses 1,70m for a minifig being 5 vertical studs high (including head pin). It frankly wont fit any minifigs properly, since its 5,6 studs wide (1,80m) and i needed a lot of interiour structure for the roof and windows to stay in place In some renders i used non-transparts windows to give better contrast (bluerender aint good with trans! ). Critique and feedback always welcome, feel free to enjoy the pics Cheers, Ron.

[...] If you use Bublible's Bluerender SunFlow MOD, you can have a 'Real Glass Transparency'. Nice MOC, BTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

droomangroup Posted September 16, 2016 NICE! it's tough to pull off things at this scale but it works. I'm currently working on a westy evolution of my earlier model team scale vanagon (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=131280&hl=) but i love vanagons of all sizes :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really aint easy working in 1/42, but i do enjoy the puzzeling of small pieces haha^^ That LeMons Van of yours is amazing - if you ever want to see this in your decals, just ask ;) Definately the T3 Vanagon is one of the coolest ever - whatever the scale :D cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemo57 Posted September 20, 2016 Perfectly adapted version of the iconic model. Perfect proportions, angles and slopes perfectly transferred. Glazing on the red version looks good. One question, and what is your growth minifigures? Very fine size to get your cool minivan. Because we have all the time here it is impossible. :laugh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The scale is 1/42 , so the minifig is 170 cm high (5 studs) You know, that Ford Truck in the picture really represents what TLG Town scale must look like in real life with "non-small-human-minifigs".
