okdoky Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi Folks I am an EX TA driver with the Rickshaws, Camels and Taxis / RLC from 1989 through to 1998. Whilst I would love to own the real thing, having a young family and no money means I am stuck with only building models of the vehicles I drove in 1/24 scale during my time in the TA. So far I have nearly completed the Leyland/DAF 8x6 DROPS and King trailer, http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8175 [ATTACH=CONFIG]61091[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]61092[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]61093[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]61094[/ATTACH] I am half way through a Landrover Lightweight and Sanky trailer, http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64146 I am hoping that folks in the know, and those with the real vehicle might be prepared to help me with my latest project. A Bedford TM build (possibly two builds in tandem) a 4x4 and a 6x6 General Service and Cargo bodies. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234917334 I need some basic chassis rail dimensions and detailing to get me started, as I need to scratch build chassis rails and cross members from bare plasticard. When I built the DROPS, I had total access to take photos and dimensions over time. Unfortunately, there are no TM's local to me in Stirling, Scotland that I know of. Perhaps someone might have one or know a man who has !!!!!!!!!!! Hope you like the builds and can help me further. Cheers from a sunny Scotland Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Welcome ;-) I saw one of these outside a TA hall in glasgow a couple of months ago (No idea what it was there for) I know a couple of the guys from the Scottish Military Vehicle Group have Bedfords, so it might be worth contacting them. http://www.scottishmvg.org/1.html (I am a SMVG member but know virtually nothing about trucks) Edited May 2, 2012 by Toner Adding in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toner Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm near Glasgow, so not that far away from you. The Scammels are handsome beasts and must be fun to drive (If you didn't have to do it for a living I imagine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
