What material did you use to make that
And looks good so far

Hi Austin, I used thin lead what is used by recreational fishermen on their floats.

Bobby Thumbs
amazing work so far - I've had a similar idea to build a food truck for a friend who owns a food truck business. Finding a 2000's commercial van in 1/35 is a mission.

13 September 2023, 23:52

Tini Hendriks
Thank you! I know what you mean by a mission. I looking for a VW Panel van in 1/35.

What a beautiful example of scratchbuilding! Your work got my wife really interested in a model for the first time. She works for the Red Cross!

Tini Hendriks
Thank you very much, Daubtingmango. It is truly a beautiful story about the ARC in WW2. Strong women!
The book "the ARC in the storm" can be read at

Very worthwhile!
I also got a lot of info from Fano on Pinterest, who collects ARC info and knows all!

Very fine progress of this fine project. Consider changing the teaser photo to one of your build. It definitely deserves it. If you´d ask me, Pic 68 would be my pick. 🙂

Just read that they used these Clubmobiles extensively during the Berlin airlift. The crews had to stay close to their machines and the truck came by and catered them.
