Hi Guys
At long last my attempt at a 1:20 model based on DVRR No5 is done, well almost as I need to sort out the reverse mode.
This has been a long build and many thanks to other members who have given advise.
The model is based on pics from the web of DVRR No5 and converted into drawings, dimensions have been guessed at but the finished car is something like!
The body is styrene with wood for the floor,window frames and reinforcement,rivets are styrene rod and the roof is covered in pantie hose which gives a good representation of canvas when painted.
Trucks are scratched from styrene with the springs built up leaf by leaf, actually quite quick to do and strong when fully set.The power truck has a Mashima motor with an axle hung gearbox.Control is by a radio unit from a toy truck which also gives basic motor sound, horn and light control, batteries are housed under the floor.Paint is Tamiya acrylic which goes onto styrene very well as long as it has an undercoat.
Here are the pics,I hope!!!
Regards
