Next to be put in is the perimeter fencing and a ramp so wagons can be loaded with vehicles. Oh and I will be painting up a Hornby Sentinel too in MOD green
Have purchased the following bits and bobs for the project
- 2x Lowmac kits
- Security office kit I will convert into a guard post
- Static diesel tank
- Disused pillbox
Have pondered maybe a nissan hut too but don't think I have space.
Pics to follow in due course
Just assembled and painted a BW Models Ferret Mk4 to provide some variety with wagon loads etc. A pleasure to build so will probably treat myself to a couple more. Also painted up a DFS Land Rover as well to provide a bit of colour in the yard..
More progress pics. Still need to put in perimeter fencing around entire perimeter and install a gate at the head of the sidings where it joins the mainline (behind the boxes). Remainder of the top of the sidings will be ballested and sligthly overgrown. Also need to contruct a vehicle ramp for access to the warflats. Also will probably add a diesel tank or something similar too.
I'd like to see more modern era vans. Not much choice in 1:76 if you don't want a long wheel based transit. Vitos, Vivvaros, Connects, and Movano's please!
Additional vehicles, although yard is aiming for a early 90's feel. I plan to have some vehicles and wagons that can be swapped in to represent late 70's early 80's (Saracens on Lowmacs etc)
I don't think I trust myself to accurately paint the wasp stripes so i'm planning to keep the ones already on the model. Using Arthurs guide I will remove the rest of the body and spray it and it's parts seperately and then re-attach.
