First cut out sides & make sure they will match up appropriately with whatever wheels you will be using. I'm using milk jug caps & for central part of wheel water bottle caps. For the side I used heavy cardstock type material & for the 2 base pieces corrugated cardboard. I use a wooden dowel to make axles with & melt hole through plastic caps with hot glue gun then force wooden dowel through. I then fill inner parts of cap with hot glue.

Making Ms. & the Rest of the Body & Inner Support As Well As Adding Windows.

I decided to add Ms. Chan figure inside the back of the Sushi-2-Go van. I sketched her out on a piece of cardstock and used gel pens to color her in. I cut the window in the side panel where she would be serving her magic through & made a bit of a canopy over it. I cut out the windows and would later be adding transparent plastic yellow sheets to glue inside each window frame. For central support & to provide roof's convex shape I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard making it slightly larger than the outer panels & hot glued it to the upper base cardboard. I then added the rear, roof panel one piece that extends all the way to the windshield glass. After that I made the front hood covers right and left as well as the grille.

Spray Painting Base Colors & Doing All the Detail Work.

I sprayed the base purple color on and allowed it to dry. I then placed round stickers and spray on the yellow. After that I did all other detail work with gel pens and acrylic paints. I made the windshield frame & added in the yellow transparent plastic for all the windows. I used tweezers to hot glue Ms. Chan in her spot in the back of the van where the magic would occur. BTW, her eggrolls are simply the best!

Ready to Serve Those Omega 3's.
