discussion Jim's Pop Larkin's truck - Pete's wheeled cargo movers GB

[Jim R]

Thanks Pete for organising the GB.

My build is Pop Larkin's truck from the TV series The Darling Buds of May. I used the 1/35 ICM kit of the G7107 army truck.

























For comparison the real thing.

Lovely jubbly (to mix up David Jason's roles), especially love the load bed finish. Now to see if there is a 1/35 Catherine Zeta Jones kit out there ......

Jim,
That is a cracking job.

 

[Andy T]

That's very nice indeed Jim. You've captured the essence of the original perfikly!

 

[Jim R]

Thanks for your nice comments. It was a nice kit to build although the finished model is quite fragile.

Funny you should say that as I've bought ...


Perfect for the job except for his moustache! David Jason didn't have one. Probably easy to remove but not sure.

Great work,Jim

 

[Ian M]

Nice result Jim.

 

[Si Benson]

I like that a lot Jim, especially the weathering which is visible but restrained and fits the build really well….splendid work :smiling4:

 

[Jim R]

Thanks for you posts. Really appreciate your kind comments.

 

[JayCee]

Very nice, Jim. The figure will be an excellent finishing touch.
John.

 

[Jim R]

Just to complete this I have included the figure. I very carefully shaved off his 'tash and mounted the truck and Pop Larkin on a wood base (a bit of old shelf!)

So figure painters look away. I find figures very hard indeed.

 

[Allen Dewire]

Beautiful finish and figure Jim!!! All your hard work has really paid off Sir. Now you just have to keep surfing the net and find a K. Zeta-Jones fig to make it perfect!!!...

Prost
