On inspection a truck which I had line-side was looking rather tired and in bad condition - it had been sitting on the garage layout in various places for the last few years (gathering dust) and had been outside in the garden before that. A little tlc would help to rejuvenate it ...
The truck is actually an old PlayMobil toy (with a 1989 date on the underside), I got it from a friend about 15 years ago with a load of G scale items.I gave it a quick clean and then dis-assembled it, the accumulated 'yuk' in the cab ...
all apart and cleaned ....
I decided on keeping the same colour scheme, a fresh coat of paint and a change for the roof to dark grey and the steering wheel to a woody look.
the truck bed was given a sand down and painted a faded brown with the sides to match the cab. Here it is finished, back on the layout ....
