Kevin's Doctor Mopp Tinplate Car

Hi,

Here is my tinplate antique shaking car. 

The same sort of toy was used as Doctor Mopp's.

Mine is the actual toy I had as a kid. I still have its original top-hatted driver but at the moment, my replica Doctor Mopp is driving it!

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

CAMBERWICK GREEN: SPACE 1999 BY KEVIN

In response to Mish's brilliant suggestion that Camberwick Green figures would look good on the Enterprise bridge, here is my attempt at doing Space 1999 that way!

We're sitting on the biggest bomb in history.

ROGER VARLEY'S MOTORBIKE: SCRATCHBIULD BY KEVIN D

Hi,

Thanks to the superb observational skills of Woodsy, I was directed to an eBay sale of a Coral Toys police motorcycle, the base for Camberwick Green chimney sweep, Roger Varley's transport. 

So, it just had to be done!

For those interested, the 'lucky' chimney sweep is the 13th I've made in this scale!

Clean sweep,

MR. DAGENHAM'S HELICOPTER

Hi,

After a year of searching, I tracked down the tinplate toy of the helicopter they must have used for Camberwick Green. I needed to scratchbuild the cab and spray it all red.

Must fly,

CAMBERWICK GREEN MOTORCYCLE MYSTERY SOLVED!

Hi Woodsy,

Thanks for posting that Camberwick Green TV clip the other week. I found this still of the Chimney Sweep's bike and sidecar online. The bike looks distinctive, twin front forks etc.

and you're not going to believe this but I've found what it is!

This Coral Police Motor Cycle Patrol toy.

Its a scratchbuild of the sidecar probably.

Vroom vroom.

YOUR HELP NEEDED IN CAMBERWICK GREEN

 Can anyone help Kevin identify the type of motorcycle used by the Chimney Sweep seen here?

FARMER BELL'S FORKLIFT

Hi,

A year of trawling Ebay finally yielded a Tudor Rose forklift which provides the basis for Farmer Bell's forklift, ideal for his modern mechanical farm.

Only needed a bit of altering and a lot of respraying (no way could I wait for the right coloured one to turn up!).

Off to load eggs now,

Kevin

FARMER BELL TRIANG SCRATCHBUILD

Hi folks,

Here is my scratchbuild of Farmer Bell from Camberwick Green. His truck is a converted Triang steel toy and his digger (seen in Chigley) is an adapted Triang Tugster. All to help on his modern, mechanical farm.

Ploughing on,

BIRTHDAY CAMBERWICK: KEV'S SCRATCHBUILT MR. CROCKETT AND HIS TRUCK

Hi,

I have made a replica of Camberwick Green's resident mechanic and his truck. The figure was made from a wooden mannequin and the truck was a Marx Powerhouse breakdown truck. I needed to heavily modify the cab (not easy with a steel toy).

Truck on,

Kevin D
