Volkswagen Camper


A kitbashed Volkswagen Camper
A tribute to Stavie van Aardt the Master Builder and to the late Koos Strydom the Master Plumber and Artisan who donated the rainwater gutters and down pipes of this conversion. Stavie van Aardt's Mobile Site Office, "Old Hess" (she is also a 1968 Bay Window Westfalia Camper) - on site at Aliwal North Bokomo - A VW Combi T2 conversion (in scale 1:1 and a kitbashed model in scale 1:87)

Old Hess in scale 1:1
A very popular vehicle - VW Combi conversion 
that roamed in the Town of Aliwal North - 
it was utilised by Stavie as a
Mobile Site Office.

I have sacrificed this VW Combi T1 for this 
project - scale 1:87

Body wrapped and fitted the spare wheel...

Finished the roof - to paint it with Prominent 
Green roof paint.

Stavie on site at Bokomo - The almost finished 
model in scale 1:87 - Koos Strydom to make and 
fit the corner trimmings to the gutters to complete 
his plumbing.

Completely body wrapped with all the frills 
and trimmings.

and trimmings.

With white coded bumpers...

With Architect drawing in hand...

Old "Hess" actually had a Plum coloured roof back then...
