[modelmarknz]

This may or may not interest some of you........ ???

This is what i`ve been building of late, Brought a couple of Siku 1/64th fire engines from Toyworld for a diorama i`m making for my dad`s fire museum , and I decided to have a go at cutting up one of the trucks..... and make it more like a New Zealand one.. Anyway here's some photos of what i`ve done so far...

The lighter is there to give you an idea of the size of it... ;D

Before

After

All plastic card , each locker is boxes in , as i want to have it displayed in the diorama with the locker doors open..

Vary cool indeed. I can't even fathom the idea of scratching in that small of scale.

I did not know that Siku is for sale in New Zealand.

That is a cool conversion, I don't know how you guys can work on something so small, keep up the great work

Yep ...you can Siku here in New Zealand , We get most brands down here !!

Well I have finally found some time to get a little more done.

While the cab and chassis was drying , I worked on changing the dash over from left hand drive to right,also build up a few breathing sets and a breathing set rack ,completed with a coat of paint.

Scratch-built the flashing lights and siren and found some small decals for the pump panel.
