Caspers 1/12 1930 Bentley 4.5 litre Supercharged

[casper]

On our travels we came across a dolls house emporium and went in for a look around. Some interesting items but i just wanted something for the Bentley so purchased a tool set, bonnet and brolly.
They kinda look ok for scale so i may use them somewhere.

selection of tools. Some are just the right size and shape for modern tools but the sheers look far too big. I will try to make them look a little better by painting and cleaning them up.
Shame there wasn't a copper and hide mallet for the wheel spinners. The tool box is just a lump of wood

[Paul]

Love the toolkit Casp
Could you do a Blue Peter job for the mallet, similar to what I did for the DB5?

cheers Paul
A little paint and oil and they should look ok somewhere . your right BA i don't need the scissors
I have some ideas on doing a diorama for the car later on ( not sure when ) and i,m picking up bits and bobs that could add interest. The brolly and hat are just a bit off fun but the scale is better than i thought. I was tempted to get a man doll but they looked too dolly, if you know what i mean

Hi Casp,
I reckon the umbrella could have a touch of modding / paint re: the handle and the tip.....
What do you think?

[Paul]

Hi Casp,

re: diorama, I reckon just a base (using the grass from train models (?) and a bit of dirt and the tool box etc..... what do you think ?

Great idea Paul but i was thinking more along the lines of a garage environment with tin roof and dirty false window...maybe a loo as well just kidding
Not really sure yet but a garage scene would be good. I already have the brick walls and some of the wood for the beams etc. Just need to find the right scale corrugated sheets for the roof

[baby_astons]

you have my vote on the garage!! and what's wrong with a loo, mechanics are humans as well + where else should they read the papers??????????????????

Loo would look great in the corner of the workshop
I have collected a few things along the way like step ladders etc so it should be fun

Hi Casp what are the brick walls made of?
Are you able to put a pic up of all the bits and pieces that you have so far?

[baby_astons]

in other words he's going to nick some ideas casp...
I'd love to see paul on tour in the girls department store

i was thinking of adding a shelf about a foot up and making a diorama with a glass front.
I only want brickwork a third of the way up the wall then wood panels up to a corrugated roof but i can only find 1/24 scale roof sheets. The brick stuff i have is from one of shane's old toys and the brick pattern is just right but it comes in odd shapes so i,m not sure i can use it.

[casper]

unless i put the car in a church yard
maybe not but it will come in handy for something sooner or later

Hi Casp ,
What about either brick paper that they use for model trains or 2 by 1 Lego bricks - sprayed and then mortar lined in ?

you can get brickwork in plastic sheets as well Paul so i may use that instead

That sounds a good idea Casp, will they be roughly in the right scale for you?
