That big Triang Jumbo BMC FFK is about done.

Ive tried to keep it looking ‘toy’ like rather than a model. Shiny finish enamel paints help there but should also be a bit harder wearing. Not that it’ll get played with of course! 
The windscreen is worse than I thought unfortunately. The crack is quite obvious and I can’t really do much for that, but it’s also very very scuffed up, probably from years of use in someone’s sand pit. I tried polishing it up but it wasn’t really having any effect. Likewise the rear body and wheels, being plastic, are quite rough now just from age and damage over the years. I suppose it’s character! 
Thing is, it’s 50 odd years old now and considering the way it started I’m pretty happy with it.

FUCK ME!*  Dan, that's gorgeous!  Well done there!

 

 

*No don't, unless you're Christina Trevanion or Izzie Balmer, and even then you'd need to be patient with the peculiar old bloke.

Yonezawa Toys.... never heard of them . Some little boy would love playing with it in a sand pit :-D

A very well-heeled little boy, given the asking price of those on eBay...
