Photoshop.  I'll be doing the same (when I get the time), along with changing the color scheme and license plates. I've had the red one sitting on my TV for the past year... but now that I have the real thing sitting in my garage/driveway, it's time to make a model to match!

Here it is (along with the red one I printed last year)... spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on it (straightened lines, changed some things, etc.). Next go-around (i.e. next year), I'll have to add the awning and curtains. 
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics (and it printed a little darker than what my computer screen showed  ). Click the thumbnail below to see the much clearer print-ready version. I can modify the color, wheels, plates, and such; if anyone has requests, let me know.

Hey Kamzcab - nice work! Would you consider making one in white with some Rhein wheels? I bet a bunch of us have that combo!
Thanks!
Steve

Nice going Kamz! You somehow managed to put Dixie's old 15" MB alloys on her instead of the silver-painted steelies she's wearing in my avatar pic.
Looks the the spare is the right wheel though...
Thanks, Jake

Can you do one in a combo of rust and primer grey, and then replace the wheels with jackstands?*
*I kid--you do beautiful work

Thanks Kamz! Now all Dixie needs is the 'SUBARU VANAGON' badge on the hatch!
Can you do the tan interior too?
Seriously, thanks a lot!
