Guess this would be classified as a Movie car/ showcar..
This one I created for the Movie build off on Bobs board....
Wanted to build this one for awhile and this gave me a reason.
The kit was a bought kit.. Sheet plastic that is..

After downsizing pics to get the scale I started to cuttin..
The roof is a chevy van cut down, with moon roof glass, the wheels are parts box.
All the rest is cut from sheet plastic and made operational if possible...The rear hinged door open. the spare tire folds down,the front doors slide back into the body. and more..
The lettering is all hand painted, the color on the body is a mix between drab and a forest to get the off green color.To get the texture for the body it was treated to a coat of spray bedliner for auto's.
Enjoy the pics. Sorry for the first few pics. Takin with my phone as the build progressed..

For something more authentic, instead of the sheet pvc, you should have used that "green" paper with the seeds in it that you could plant later ... I kid
