Model Name:
(7mm) 11CV / Light 15
Description:
O Gauge, 1:43. A plastic Heller kit which I have converted to right hand drive. The dashboard has been reversed and detailed using a photo, fuel filler and number plate have swapped sides. Painted in acrylics. Fitted with home-made Devon numbers plate for Okehampton. The prototype would have been built in Slough.
Model Name:
(7mm) Coal Cart
Description:
O Gauge, 1:43. Made from a white metal kit by S&D Models. Painted in acrylics with home-made decals. I had to laser cut a couple of missing parts and resin cast a missing spring. This will sit at the back of Gunn’s Yard on Okehampton as it has been replaced by the lorry I previously built.
Model Name:

Model Name:
(4mm) LONDON TRANSPORT RT AEC REGENT MK3 BUS
Description:
This London Transport RT AEC Regent Mk3 bus was modified from an EFE model purchased second hand for £10.
The interior seating was painted and hand painted Preiser figures added. I replaced the grab rail on the platform with 0.9mm brass wire, as the EFE rail was too large. I also fitted brass wire handrails to the platform entrance.
The body was sprayed with Halfords Grey primer followed by Tamiya Matt Red for the exterior and Precision Paints Cream for the upper deck ceiling. Fox transfers and flush glazing to the front, costing an eye watering £30 were added. I also replaced the rear lower deck window with Perspex, as the EFE glazing spoiled the view of the platform. The final touch was the rear-view mirror (Plasticard, kitchen foil and brass wire) and front indicators (Plasticard). The only task left is some minor weathering.
