Spectrum Is Green (or Zircon Blue!)

[HL-10]

Have finished my Studio Scale SPV, The WIP is here: 

 

 

One of my favourite Derek Meddings designs.

I have had a Dinky SPV in my collection for as long as I can remember and when the opportunity to build big version, I jumped at it.

Oh, that is niiiicccce.... A very snazzy-looking SPV if I ever saw one. Only thing it could possibly need is a couple of figures standing around -- or sitting in the extendable chair, maybe even with their weapon drawn. Isn't there an episode in which one of the Captains is in a gunfight while sitting in a seat, using the SPV's armour as cover?

Love it I picked up the old Imai kit after seeing your work in progress, so I'm going to blame you, as it seems a bit..... rustic

[GrahamS]

 Very, very nice indeed.

 

As you say SIZB

As smart as a very smart thing. And even more desirable.

That looks superb, love the colour! I had huge problems getting the right colour when I did the Imai kit a couple years back. The usual Halfords spray can colours just didn't work on such a small scale, however at this size it is perfect!

 

The interior detail looks excellent!

Thanks for the comments and compliments Kallisti.

It's a difficult colour to get right. 

I went to a specialist car paint shop to get the colour and I not sure it's 100% correct, it looks too dark to me, but the shade does vary depending on the light. 

[Kallisti]

Don't forget they used very strong lights when filming so they could close the f-stop down to get depth of focus, so everything on screen looks lighter.

[RACETRACK]

I'm in love with that. I still treasure my Dinky...

[Gimme Shelter]

what a cracker of a model - looks magic - there's a lot to be said about driving facing backwards I've heard.

That's superb work,thank's for bringing back a lot of  happy memories of the programme and the times.

Taking your suggestion on board I modified a commercially available Captain Scarlet figure who just happened to be the same scale as the SPV so I now have a driver

 

 

This shows the difference between the figures:
