living van
« on: December 06, 2020, 04:35:29 am »
Hi,just completed this kit off e bay for my Maxitrak and Mamod engine.
All furniture,range and lamp all made from scrap balsa.I 'glazed' the windows and put a frame around them to finish it.
Supplied wheels were ditched in favour of spoked.
The range has a micro bulb inside and power supplied by a mini 12 volt battery. Its held in position by magnets for easy removal to change battery when required.
The towing bar was swapped for a piano wire brazed onto front wheel assembly.Great fun to make. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

That turned out quite nice - well done! I like the added detail like the loaf of bread with slices on the table and the apparent fire in the stove.
Regards,
Larry

Good job!

Do you have an eBay link to the kit that you started with?
