Super work!
I like the idea of the rotating base.

Re: A Desert Island Disc-'The Lost Boys'
During my research I came across a picture of a vehicle sporting a Flag over the bonnet so decided to create one myself using a piece of painted wine bottle foil (I have plenty of this after Christmas) and a self printed decal:
It will probably not be to everyones taste, but to me it is an historic representation of how things were.

Re: A Desert Island Disc-'The Lost Boys'
The stowage has now been completed, the tow rope is made up of a couple of strands of wire twisted together:
The shovel was made from some plastic card (old store card) and stretched sprue, the tarpaulin is rolled up tissue soaked in PVA with painted tape straps:
The camnet on the rear is a piece of netting that fruit in boxes come in, sealed with PVA and painted:
The water cans are made from bits of plastic card and thin strips of wine bottle foil for the carriers:
With the vehicles on the base I realise that some more weathering is required to blend the tires in to the base coloured sand:
I have some pastels that should do the trick.

Good advice John, luckily I thought of that but it is certainly an area that I have missed in the past.jRatz wrote:Looking good; dust the soldiers boots also.
Here is the finished item:
And a couple of close ups:
The flash has made the dusting look a darker red but in real light it looks the same colour as the base so I am happy with it.

Super job! It's a wonderful scene with many possible story lines that could be applied (As every good dio should have!)

Excellent! Nicely matched base and backdrop and convincingly posed.
