1912 Java Express

[Nosferatu]

I originally built this about 12 years or so ago but never liked the color or decals so I repainted it and added brass highlights.

It was a Tom Daniels 1912 Paddy Wagon that I cut off the van rear and added a scratch built magazine and coffee kiosk. I shrunk down pics of magazines that were in my interest. The newspapers are random from different eras. The coffee urn is a 1/2" copper pipe.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Here is what I originally built:

Both look good, I agree. I like the repaint on the second version, very nice red metallic/flake.

[Chuckyg1]

That's cool. I think I have some of those mags.

Very cool and nicely detailed build! The new paint job suits it well!

[Bainford]

Nice re-fresh. I like the new colour. When I first glanced at the first pic, I thought it was hauling model kits.

This is awesome! Im a big fan of Tom Daniel designs. I have built manybof Monograms TD kits. They are very cool. I really like the Java Express. And the mini Model cars mags.

The repainting came out nice and I like all the brass lighting.
