On the Drawing Board - UPDATED 160830

That's a very nice touch.  Does that mean you're revising the sprue you showed us?

We update projects whenever is possible to make the final product better!
...and will continue to update existing released products too!

Still don't like the solid spoke look much...

The spoke wheel is for the integrity of this tiny model for wargaming purposes.
We might release a set of the 3D printed version with all the details and hollow
support  (at a much higher costs) to those who fancy one!

My point is that you don't need the spokes.  From a distance, the spokes on a motorbike wheel are virtually invisible.  Matchbox did it in 1:76 scale:

Before painting, the Project Z bikes have spokes, not convinced they will after painting.

100% agree with the bikes being small scale 1:56 ....the wheels would look much better if done like the old airfix ones with no spokes

Once again a teaser for a brand new project...



Enjoy!

Wow, interesting.  Looks like the dashboard of a British vehicle (right hand drive, assuming those are instruments on the right).

The picture does not seem to display, it might just be  my internet connection.

[Edit] It displays fine now.

Bedford?

FAT ( Field Artillery Tractor ) ?

[Pinky]

Hmm - it doesn't seem to be an Austin Tilly, AEC Matador, Morris C8, Morris 'Quad' or Bedford QL.  There are some similarities with the Bedford's interior (including that access hatch to the left of the driver), but the Bedford's instrument panel was in the centre.

Looks like a Quad interior

[sandsmodels]

cmp i reckon

[Pinky]

The CMP FAT is possible.  Most of the British vehicles had the instruments in the centre.

[Pinky]

I found a photo of the interior of a Ford CMP truck cab which is very similar to this, including the large central section, access hatch and position of the instruments.  I hope that's what it is - I think a CMP truck would be a fantastic choice for Rubicon's first British truck.

[Rubicon Models]

Name this truck!  What is this model?

Only the cab is done, we are still working on the rest of the model!



Enjoy!
