ianmacc Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Found these on a google images search. Absolutely amazing for 1:76 scale. I have just managed to find the website. Emgauge70s.co.uk by reverse searching the images. Not my work. If the pics are copyright I’ll remove them. http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/model_omwb124.html -link to the blog entry and how it was made... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Probably how most Vauxhall Viva Mk1s ended up... A well observed model! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Interesting. A fair amount of work has gone in to modelling those burnt out seats. Many years ago, probably around 15, I also modelled and featured a burnt out car on an N gauge layout (apologies for the poor pic): G. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kylestrome Posted June 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Not my work. If the pics are copyright I’ll remove them. It should go without saying that these images are someone else's copyright. A simple link would have sufficed. A quick read of the forum rules, http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/60294-use-of-images-from-rmweb/ will lead you to this line: "Any image (where the image is not the property of that member) uploaded to RMweb remains the property of the original photographer and should not be uploaded to RMweb without proper consent."

APOLLO Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Many, many years ago a mate bought (for £100) a tatty but serviceable Wolseley, a very nice car. A few months later, short of cash it was ""stolen"" and ended up burned out on a Wigan slag heap. We guessed / knew what had happened, and used to taunt him that "Your in deep trouble mate, the Pope is looking for you, don't you know that burning a Wolseley is a cardinal sin" !!! Happy, silly days !!! Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH, David Ok I didn’t actually get the images from the linked site. It doesn’t strictly go without saying though. People can attach various licences to images ranging from copyright to attribution public domain. You’re welcome.

HGT1972 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi all, the Viva is on Morfa Bank Sidings...and in reply to Brian, it's only travelled down the road from Swansea to Port Talbot! The seats are made from various gauges of wire. There's also an engine under the bonnet but it's not that visible. A nice distraction from the trains!

The standard of workmanship on the entire blog is inspirational. Are you ok with the images being here or would you like me to delete them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGT1972 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 No problem at all! Nice to see them out and about again - the car is still there and a little more overgrown. Nice to hear the real version got preserved! Hywel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Where are my manners? I should have mentioned previously that the images and construction of the burnt out car are all down to Hywel. For those interested, here's the emgauge70s update page from October 2016 which features the vehicle and descriptions to go with it. http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/model_omwb124.html 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
