When I saw an ad for this "dealership" diorama, I knew it would be perfect for displaying my VW models.

From this angle, it shows how the roof of the cab was slanted up to join the sleeper shell and the rear cab wall was removed to provide access. The external roll bar incorporates the overhead rack and mounts the off-road lights. I retained the rear section of the cargo bed for gas cans, tool boxes, and...
