I found this forum searching for refence images to my latest 3D model, a VW 67 Deluxe. If you have visited TheSamba.com you have probably already seen my work in progress.
Anyway, Im have already got alot of help on this project... but it never seems enouf as I always encounter new chalenges to find god reference images so I can make the bus justice. As many of you been restouring your buses, my hope is that you can help on the reference images. Specialy on this stage of the modeling as the details are a challenge.
Currently Im in need of images of the bottom of the car, transmission, etc.
Feel free to give me your critics and comments.









Every VW Bus needs nice navcap and a steering wheel right ?





Improvised Door Hing and doorlock... I just did not have any good reference image



Another test renders




As I decided to do this a 67' model insted, Im now redoing some parts of the back, nothing mayor tho.
Tested some metal/Chrome

I'm finaly finish redoing the back to match a '67, there was more work to it then expected but as someone told me "we do it bether when we start over again".
Anyway here you have a new test render, I did also model the backlight.
As always, feel free to give me your C & C.


I started to rufly do the bottom of the car using just some basic shapes. As usual I have very bad reference images, so any help would be appreciated. The parts are uppsidedown btw.

I did a new render with some minor changes and also placed arrows in it with my problem areas.


Im currenty, just collecting referens images and prints so have some base to start doing the gearbox and the engine. I have already adquire some good prints of them, but any additional that could help me get all the parts and shapes right would be useful. As always, if the images or prints are taken in a straight angle they are the best.
I started modeling the gearbox, but it seems almost imposible without good reference and prints becouse of the amount of details.
Please help me out with some reference material if you can.
