Two 1/24th G Wagon Conversions

[okdoky]

Did a little bit of corrections and small addition

Revamped the heart monitor support frame and added a strap and buckle all from tin foil




Also aded a couple of tie down straps for some equipment (possibly a folding stretcher) on the side of the rear bench seat. Maybe someone in the Medical Corps can tell me what gets held here normally.

I thought the gutters around the van are too obvious for them to be ignored especially as there has to be a roofrack fitted with clamps.

How the kit gutters are represented by very basic raised area


I decided to add new gutters from the tin foil again


First the long sections


Linked around the back




Down the windscreen frame




I also found a textured plastic from stationary store folders to use as headlining in the van and cab.


I am hoping the texture will still show through when the ceiling colour is painted on it.

Hi there

Does anyone know if the roof gutters on the cab of the box bodied ambulance extend around the rear of the shortenened cab or if they end at the rear edge of the cab sides :-?

Just about to add these gutters but have no close up pics of the roof and behind the cab.

Thanks folks

Construction of the gurny cradles.





Dry fit and temporary support

Wasn't happy with the wire I used with paper (the type used in twist lock freezer bag wire) as the paper did not sit right.

Van body cradle with twist lock wire (Now since removed)


Decided to start again for the box body gurny cradles and will re-do the van body cradle later.


I drew the line shape of the hinged rods on paper then chopped thin plastic strip for the largest sections


Then overlayed the uncut strip on top of the pre cut sections one by one to cut the smaller, centre sections judged by eye using the drawn line as a cutting guide


I was surprised how much better and easier it proved to be doing it this way and the rods also sat on the central control rod for glueing without any ham fisted fiddling.

Am much happier with the look

What do you folks think?

Nige, I really like it!! The way you have followed the build and explained what you are doing is great!
I think you will give the smaller scale military modellers a run for their money!!
