Milk delivery wagon by RGL - FINISHED - Miniart - 1/35

[RGL]

This kit is a beauty! Lots of choice of decals and another rabbit hole to go down as I have a plan for a diorama 

[RGL]

Here’s a hint

I wouldn't know which version I should prefer.

Those are some long-lived trucks. This will be fun with droids.

I love that tricycle van. Great choice.

They used to be common in Germany, when I was a little boy. Our greengrocer had one (the 'pick-up' version, as one would probably call it in the USA). They had a distinctive sound, due to the two-stroke engine.

[RGL]

So from Tori Factory, some 3D printed stuff. 

[RGL]

And the insides !

... just remembered that I still have a 1:87 scale model of a Tempo flat-bed lorry from the early 1960s made by Wiking. Wiking originally made naval and aircraft recognition models, but then after the war started to make those 1:1250 scale shipmodels, first die-cast and then in styrene. And they branched out into model cars in the mid 1950s or so. They became the quality standard for decades and now are collectors' items. My oldest are from around 1959.

What a cool project Greg, love it, specially with the sci-fi background. I have a flatbed Tempo from MiniArt in my stash and plan to build it soon, but my, never would I have had such a great idea for presenting it.

Cheers Rob

Sorry for the OT, Greg, but when I was a kid, I once visited the old Wiking factory in Berlin Steglitz, as it was near to my home then. They produced only cars by that time, If I remember correct. My father had a huge amount of these metal cast ships and a few in Plastic. Only the Queen Mary survived until today in my possession.

Worn out insides

This like a Tamiya kit it comes together so well. It also includes 70 milk bottles, several milk churns and wooden milk boxes 

[RGL]

Undercarriage done! Thoughts? 

[Old Collingwood]

Very cool.

[Canute]

Do you drive it or launch it?

[GrandpaPhil]

Very cool!

It's gotta be a Volks-Luft 2146 thing... {Chuckle}

Great idea. I love the combining of modern technology, the old delivery van and the robot delivering eggs and dairies at home, like in the good old times. Very steampunk, in a way.
