MY DINKY SPV: BRINGING IT BACK TO LIFE

 T'other week I bought a battle-damaged incomplete Dinky SPV for three squid.

Now the MoonBase is made I've begunrestoring it with bits and bobs I have in my scrap box.

I started with a new coat or two of metallic paint pen. Not perfect but OK for my cabinet. Just the white top grille to do now.

Leaving that to dry I started on a new set of antenna.

The originals roll a bit on their bracket so I managed to recreate that Dinky movement.

Next up the missing rear track array, a much much tougher job.

From an old bit of metal, I began creating a set of wheels for the double tracks.

The rubber band tracks were coloured black as were the rollers.

Alas, this doesn't roll but looks OK I reckon, albeit bigger than the original.

Here's the antenna and the tracks in place. Any good?

Next up, the missing front missile door.

Watch this space!
