MB 613 D wrecker - Chromecop update 080421 w/pic
Right now I'm building a wrecker in my hobbyroom. It's a Mercedes Benz and I'm using the body from a frictiondriven toy car. This is how I want it to look once finished:

The rear of the cab is the rear portion of the van which I moved forward. And, yes, when I chopped the roof (converting the cab from High-roof to normal height) I took out about 1,5 mm to much from the roof-posts. Therefore, I had to "anti-chop" the roof again....Bowtie kirjoitti:So the rear end of the cab is totally scratch-built? Impressive! Seems like the roof has been to low, is the body otherwise in scale? (1/25?)
The scale, oh... I forgot to tell you. It's exactly 1:25½ in scale (meaning it's a tiny bit smaller than 1:25 but still close enough to work with regular 1:25 cars!

The engine was painted using a mix of three different Humbrol paints, a flat light grey, a flat french blue and a gloss "grass" green. I tried to get the paint as close as possible to the colour of the 1:1 reference pictures.
The sad part is that the engine will be more or less invisible when mounted in the truck!!

The mock-up wheels are from some kind of toy-truck, I'll probably use something else on the finished model.Bowtie kirjoitti:Where did you take those wheels? Was there any kind of interior on the toy-truck, or do you have to completely scratch-build it also?
The original Mercedes Ambulance had a somewhat simplyfied interior, but I'll scratchbuild a new interior, based on the remains of the stock one.
