Willies Milkfloat

Well this was a change from a SRB based buggy :) The original idea came from none other than volksrod (thanks again Joe) who I think to be honest was going in a totally different direction with a racing version of a 50/60's style electric cart that had suffered a hard life -flat paint and lots of in use damage :( Having previously spent 13 years in and around a milk/salads factory (before an asset stripping buyer thought more of the machinery and business than of the workforce) I had a different twist on how I wanted Willies float to look and this is pretty much it. Fully ballraced, fitted with Kawada wheels/tyres backed by fake discs, had custom lettering made by a RC modeller in brush script, cab glazed with clear sheet, goods onboard (potatoes and milk) from a dolls house supplier, RC truckers should check these sites out for cheap scale items ;) Sprayed in Ford Monza Blue, now waiting on a tuned motor, undecided which to fit, and a wiper to fit on the drivers screen. The stainless plate pop rivetted onto the roof (that hasn't photographed well :( ) was what I found when visiting the old factory car park to run my 1/5 petrol cars it's marked with Express Foods Group and Asset No. -This part of the plate really turns my stomach as I remember these small plates being freely placed on all valuable items before we were sold down the river. Thanks to Joe :) and thanks for nothing smedleys who bought and shut the factory :( -No I haven't got over it ;)
UPDATED 03/09/11 Have now added standard 540 motor 19T pinion, front wiper -I always remember these as being next best to useless on the real floats :(, extra deliveries for Willy , coca cola, bread and eggs, -including some I broke to add to the on the edge driving from Willy :). With the exception of an ESC, receiver and battery everything is in place that could make this a runner at anytime, all the goods on the rear bed are held in place with a hot glue gun so nothing will move ;)
