Details: Photographing model service vehicles on a diorama with buildings and other vehicles really brings them to life. Les writes: This was constructed from a Base Toy model of the Thames Trader. These are one the easiest conversions to do. As always I dismantle the model, including the cab seats and glazing. I cut out the V shape from the rear of the body; add a head structure and a signboard on the roof front of the cab. Spray paint with acrylic plastic primer and finish off with Ford Dove Grey. Reassemble the model leaving a small gap between the body and the cab, affix transfers and paint the wheel centres using a mix of Humbrol paints, and also the inside of the body, with a suitable shade of brown. |
