Where do you find those tiny hinges?

They're 1:12 dolls house hinges, usually listed on eBay at 1cm x 0.8cm. I haven't tried using the supplied screws, just drilled the holes out so I could use M2 fittings.

Jonny, do you use always the same cc 01 or have you got several of theme and each project has its own chassis?
You always have amazing body projects

Each has it's own chassis (I had to look back through the thread to remind of all the details though):

- Blackfoot RV was a new Toyota FJ Cruiser kit (I sold the lexan body, fittings & wheels on)
- Unimog Tanker was built on my barely used Pajero MTW chassis (the body also went on eBay)
- Bedford TM Skip Truck had a new Landfreeder kit (this time I used the wheels, but the body, fittings & decals went on eBay but I got pratically nothing for after fees & postage)
- Laplander is being built on a new Pajero Rally Sport chassis (kit wheels have been heavily modified, I still have the lexan body, fittings & decals - I'll move them on at some point, hopefully at an event so I can avoid fees & postage costs).


I'll have to take a photo with them all lined up, once the Laplander is finished.

Just awesome

A few more bits of progress, the last 10% always takes at least 50% of the time


Inside skinned (though light transmission makes it look otherwise:




Working on wheel spats:





Fake cover fits better with streamlined look than exposed bottles, also fitted a jockey wheel:




I was struggling with ideas for light details, so cheated & modified some Scorcher parts:




Caravan as it stands now:




Working on the kitchen parts:




Temporarily fitted:




Also faked a plug & chain, to be fitted after paint:




I still have to make some soft furnishngs for the inside & get some new wheels so I can modify them, I'm still undecided about having a spare wheel cover on the back. Other than that it's just paint - I'm kind of leaning towards aerosol chrome for the body, mars red for the chassis, with fake wood for the interior and galley.

Almost wizardry.

I think a build video with stop-motion would be something for all of these builds and inventions. (except for the time it consumes)
