An Interested Spectator Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Had a Britains 362 with the roof missing of the cab. I wanted to do an early 300 series with the black and red cab. Found this picture and decided to work from it, although i have gone for a two wheel version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Interested Spectator Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Sorry for the double post guy's computers mucking about. I think i am going to sticker this one up as a 350, if i can get someone to make me some ! Now the question....the 362 has the exhaust on the offisde, and personally i have only seen 350's with the exhaust on the nearside. Is anyone aware of an engine fitted to a 350 which would put the exhaust on the offside of a 350........before i go to the aggro of moving the one on the model ?

COWBOY Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 love it. what did u use for the roof then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Interested Spectator Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 love it. what did u use for the roof then? Cowboy - it's for the most part modeling putty. With the roof removed from a Britains 362 there is a nice lip/beam that runs down either side of the top. I took a thin strip of plastic-card, the same length as the cab roof and glued it, side on, against said lip/beam. I then look a thin strip of card or paper and taped it to one of the strips of plastic-card, and drew the side profile of the roof freehand onto it. A case of doing it a number of times until you are happy you have the right shape. I then cut out the drawn profile on the card/paper and then used that as a template to cut the plastic-card on both sides the cab. In theory you then have both sides of the roof the same size and shape. From there its just a case of filling the space between the two sides with modeling putty, and shaping with a file, and wet and dry until you are happy with the shape. A very long drawn out process. The main trick seems to be knowing when to stop. The final touch was then to glue a very thin strip of plastic-strut down either side of the roof just above the door line, to represent the rain guttering on the real thing. Does all this make sence ? I am sure there must be an easier way, but thats how i did it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
