VW Samba van (1)
I've had a Lego model of a VW Samba van for many years. Back when I built it, many parts that I have nowadays (cheese slopes, for instance) weren't available or weren't available in green. My model was beginning to look a bit antiquated compared to some of my more recent ones and for the last two years lingered in a box of models that I am likely to take apart. When thinking about something to build for this month's LUGNuts challenge, the van popped back into my min and I decided to give it a make-over. LUGNuts exists four years and this month we can choose any of the challenges we've done in the last year, including 'Autos aus Deutschland'. It's a revisited challenge with a revisited model.
I've also seen LEGO's camper van at the Great Western LEGO Show last weekend, which may have played a role.
