I was determined to find something "useful" in the charity shop this afternoon, however all I managed to find was this !

This is Doctor Gilbertsons sports car from Postman Pat ......

It has a friction motor, "real" locking doors and opening bonnet the problem is the size !

I was going to convert this for Baron Ironblood but the vehicle seems to be slightly out of scale !!!!

I think this could be 1:16 slightly deformed scale not quite 1:18 ? not to worry it was only a quid !

I think the Major should honk the horn, see if Muton cracks his noggin off the bonnet

Just what every world leader needs..a bullit/bomb proof convertable.

The Barons Shaguar, that's so cool Andy, good score. I'd leave it just like it is. I love's me Jags, I have a 1/18 E type that's going to get fluffy dice (ala Red Dwarf). My Son thinks the Muton fixing the shaggin wagon is funny too.

tis a shame, this was just crazy enough to work ! a few skull logos on the doors and perhaps a set of shadowtrack wheels ? and a personalised BARON 1 number plate ?

All I'd do is the Baron number plate and a skull hood ornament. He needs to be driving and maybe the Baroness in the passenger seat?



:-D

well perhaps if I add some padded seat cushions the figures may sit better and not look so lost inside ?

You could emulate the Baron's chest V-design on the bonnet.

now that would look fantastic ! perhaps a skeletron hood ornament would spoil it tho ?
