That would be great! user added image

I am not sure there will be much to texture, except the signs...
I can make the white-to-green color by duplicating the shader, texturing will consume too much time on the UV layout, considering i don't know much about UV layout apert from the basics.

Currantly, i need to extrude the hull, and make it up ready for building the interior, that would be hard to do, but i'll get over it some way. user added image

Hadn't done much to the volkswagen recently.
Just a little bit of more beveling, but not much.

looks like a very nice model.i have yet to finish mine but im working from the ground up with engine and suspension and such things lol.i have one of these so it makes it easy to model if i need a reference i go look in the garage.lol
anyway the only slight crit i would have is the front between it needs to bulge out more if that makes sense the kombi was split in two with the molded strip and the upper part on the front is quite a bulge ill try and get a pic if you dont mind me posting it on ur thread.

I understand now that they are sports tires :p
But that doesn't make too much of a problem i guess, after all, i can simply re-model the tires if it is that noticble.
