1:64-scale car no. 109: took a pause after finishing my last one to get my Volvos (nos. 104-107) off to print, but now I'm back on the family bus beat with this big boy. I remember going with my dad a few times to check out EuroVans when they first came out. He really liked them, but I suspect they were out of our price range, given that they cost about 50% more than the Saturn he ended up getting in ’94... #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale

Got a good start into three dimensions today. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale

This has to be close to a record for how quickly I've been able to complete an outer body shell, having just started in three dimensions yesterday. There is a catch, though—like last time, the sliding door will be added later, towards the end of the entire modeling process. Nevertheless, a quick bit of work, and while it is essentially a big box, there's more complexity in the details than you'd expect! #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale

Seats for seven, to go. Oddly, this is the second time I've modeled a German car with rear-facing seats that share the headrests of the seats behind/in front of them. As @dan might be able to guess, the other one was a Mercedes S124 E320 wagon. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale

Body is completely done, and I got the wheels done, too. All that's left are the dash and steering wheel, and I'm debating whether or not to have the table raised between the second and third rows. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
