This is going to be my next victim,

I'll be adjusting it to be a medivac ambulance, and scratching most of the interior and extras needed, might pop it on a simple dio base as the main subject, not decided if there will be figures included yet.

Will pop some pictures up tomorrow when I have more than a painted interior to the hull to show.

That sound like a nice build idea, I'll look forward to seeing where you go with this.

well for a start I've sprayed the inside of the hull and all the interior parts white with a cheapo rattle can.

The engine is matt black and will dry brush and weather it in situ as i find it easier that way and it seems to blend better.

There's not much following the instructions for the interior as it's mostly going to be scratch built stretchers etc

Got the interior together, nice detailing on the instruments etc

I've added the rod supports for the canvass stretchers, they need a coat of paint.

Next up is stretchers, sheets, a little bench for opposite the stretchers, some oxygen/anaesthetic bottles...

that should fill the inside up a bit.

Pftttttttttt...half of that lot would be lost if I was trying to make it...how small is that fire extinguisher!

Saying that, it could be really 1/24 scale and Colin is actually 12 feet tall

This is looking good mate, those tiny bits are looking the part and I like the subtle weathering. Nice work mate.

tidied up the instruments a bit

[ATTACH]73782.IPB[/ATTACH]


made some O2/gas type bottles (ends of paintbrushes with wire for the pipe and sprue slices for the guages, the decals are just random spares that looked ok (ish))

The first aid box is an ammo box (i think) from an accessories kit

Got some non-slip pads on the drop down rear door (wet and dry cut to shape)

Next up is brackets for the bottles and then start work on the wheels .... and suspension.
