Vehicles

Most are 1:160 scale European models as I prefer the glazed windows and finer detail compated to solid castings.

British Army Warrior MCV

Tracks are from a Roco tank model (Leopard?) with one wheel removed and the others spaced out as per the prototype the rest is fabricated from styrene sheet and plastruct. I based the model on photos and drawings from the web and a Revell 1:72nd model kit. 12/01/2004

Since making this model I've bought a number of Can.do pocket army Warriors, I have to admit they make mine look rather poor, a few of them are show at the top of the page.

British Army Wolf

This is made from laminates of styrene sheet cut to a basic Land Rover shape, then filed and scored. The wheels are from Dornaplas. Again images from the web were used, together with basic dimensions from a Series III Land Rover kit. The Land Rover can be seen in the picture at the top of this page.

British Army 4 Tonne lorry

A resin kit which I bought at an Exhibition in Cardiff in about 1990, this range have now been reintroduced in white metal. PG Models also produced a Series III Land Rover and a variety of tracked vehicles.

BR/Network Rail Permanent Way Vehicles

There are two lorries converted from Wiking Mercedes. One represents the crew carrying version seen all over the place in the early 1990s, before white transits and Ivecos took over, while the other is an open version and has a crude model of a HIAB crane arm. The Network Rail Transit vans are resprayed from Rietze originals with Network Rail transfers made by me.

Kalmar Reach Stacker

The reach stacker was made from styrene, a MicroMachines dumper truck and a dornaplas Ford Cargo lorry. It's based upon photos from the internet and various magazine articles.

Freightliner ERF tractor and trailer

The tractor is converted from a Farish MAN lorry, with an additional axle from a spare trailer. The trailer is made from styrene rod with wheels and details from a Farish trailer.
