Scratch-built AEC Dorchester with MMS Morris 8cwt PU

Managed to finish up the vignette last evening and this morning so here are some photos portraying a Dorchester and Morris 8cwt PU of the 2nd Armoured Division in Libya, 1941.
The Dorchester is scratch-built on the Airfix Matador chassis with wheels from Milicast. The Morris is MMS and modified somewhat to lengthen the cab area, add cab and storage bin details and build the canopy frame.
The two standing figures are from the Revell/Matchbox Monty's Caravan set, the seated officer is a Bull Models figure and the Morris driver is a Milicast figure. Table, chair, mug and satchel are all scratch-built. Transfers were made by Peter Marshall at Aleran.

Cheers,

Neil

Very nicely made.

Since you said AIRFIX I come to the conclusion that these must be in scale 1:72. Impressive.

 

Yes....sorry...should have mentioned the scale. It's 1/76 actually, but glad you liked it.

Cheers,

Hi Neilie,

It is a lovely model. We would be interested in learning some info about the prototype and more detail on techniques for building the model, thanks for posting,

David

Good representaion of the Caunter colours too by the look of it.

 

Thank you David(s) for the nice comments!!
