I cut the body in half along with the chassis, which I made shorter by cutting a piece out. I stuck the body and chassis back together using Araldite together with a strip of plastistruct made to fit along the topside of the chassis. On the body I cut a piece of plasticard (plank effect), to fit into the base to hide the saw cut/join and to give is strength. A headstock was added at the same time. The chassis was spray painted in Halfords Semi-gloss Black and the body and cab in Ford Dove Grey. Mirrors and transfers were added and the wheel centres painted in Red Oxide. The inside of the body was painted a suitable shade of brown. |
