Scale model truck accessories
"I'm sure we passed one about a mile back"
To complete my recent scale model Bedford truck build, I wanted to create a scenario to give it some context and tell a bit of a story.
On the way to pick up its load, our truck has broken down at the side of the road, and the driver has gone for help, leaving our man – a ModelU resin printed workman – to guard the truck, side-gate down, to make space to consult the map, and break out a hot drink.
Unable to find suitable accessories at 1/24 scale, I decided to design and print my own: a thermos flask and toolbox, both 3D printed on my bog-standard Ender 3, and replica Ordnance Survey map of the period printed, folded and assembled by hand.
If you want to make your own versions of these, download links to the files are at the bottom of the page, and you can see my videos of aspects of the build by clicking the button below.
