Neilie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi Folks, Here is my recently completed Guy FBAX Wireless. It features a scratch-built cab on a modified Airfix K6 chassis with a detailed Matador Models #3 Wireless body. The vehicle is finished as a wireless vehicle of GHQ 1 HQ Signals in the Dunkirk area in 1940. Inspiration came from a photo of this vehicle derelict on the beach at Dunkirk. The model portrays it in better days and is accompanied by a Dan Taylor "At Ease" figure. Transfers are from Peter Marshall at Aleran.

Enigma Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Stunning model. I'd avice covering it under a plexiglass cover. I did that on my airplane models to keep the dust off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilie Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you all for the really nice comments. It was a fun build but the antenna did take a couple of days. I do tend to make my bases fairly simple with just some typical terrain so it doesn't detract from the vehicle. but lately, I have been adding a figure or two just to bring it to life. As far as plexiglass, it is fairly small as it's only 1/76 scale and the base is only 4.25 " long. All my models are kept in a display case so dust is not really an issue. When they do get dusted, my wife's soft makeup brushes take a bit of a beating. Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
