Ran into a Renault 5 at the Goodwill today. (in the toys bin, not in the parking lot....). Missing a door, broken glass, but 25 cents, we can work with that.
Drilled out the pins, removed all of the glass, washed the remains. Primed the inside with Zandri Dust, and the diecast part with Macragge Blue, then sponged it with a something something aircraft blue.Glued the sheels fixed with some extra putty to make sure they won't move. Finished most of the paintjob, needs some more work but done for today.

Lucky finds for 28mm Modern
Ran across these in the diecast vehicle bins over at the Goodwill. Perfect fit for 28mm, the trailer comes with a movable stand with screws so you can stand it or hang it behind a truck. Also has a shutter door, with a lock that actually works. Bargain at 1 euro (google it, it's not cheap new!). Also dug out a Siku forklift that will work just fine as is. 50 cents that.
Also picked up the type of hinge I was looking for to swing the light bar in and out of the cabinet, need to to a few testfits to see what works best, install and then cleanly tuck away the cables and the on off switch.
Wether it will work as planned remains to be seen. Fingers crossed.
