This is a scale model of the Oakeley quarry gunpowder wagon I recently built, as seen at the Slate museum at Llanberis. Built from plasticard and strip brass. A nice little build

Looks really good with excellent weathering, another piece of rolling stock that's on my todo list.

I've got a curtis harvey van that needs the chassis making this is larger, yes more rivets and again is plasticard and brass strip. Overall an easy scratchbuild to make and an enjoy to build.

My Gunpowder Van has had a harder working life.......

The Busybodies figure was made especially for the job.

Are you going to share it this time?

Edit.... Sorry but I forgot to add how much I like your van, nice model, good finish!

If you were to actually blow one up with a bit of gunpowder Nov 5th is nearly upon us so a supply would be available. I know it would certainly blow the bl.....y doors off

Let's try blowing yours up first then!

You're back on the meths aren't you?

Nope! Just adding realism to models
