Volkswagon Spacevan.





After sketching out many ideas for a spaceship using coke bottles and vinly players as inspiration i still had nothing i could really work with in all aspects of the module. Then I had a revelation in shape of turning a VW Camper van into a spaceship with a few funky modifications. So I drew out what i thought it would look like:


VWS Van
How i came up with this is i simply imagined what a camper van would look like had it been 'Spaceshipified' and this was the result. Extend the lines flowing from the font into rear wings and remove the wheels and add bumpers with wings attached. Added a dorsal on the roof and changed the eyes to 3 on each side rather than one, to represent the Alien.

Next i wanted to bring the van to life so I took it into illustrator and used the pen tool to sketch it out. Afterwards I used live paint to come up with a variety of colour schemes.

This one is my favourite and im very sure that i will be using the wings in the final model.
red and green (obviously) Looked good at first but looks to christmassy now.
I like the red and green stripes but the red clashes to much with the blue


Another finallist for the colours i think the mix of vibrancy really embodies the van and the hippies who once
used it.
