CRASH, BANG, WALLOP!

Colas Crash Cushion

This was a BIG project in every sense of the word. We took a large scale 1:24 scale tipper model and converted it into a rigid crash cushion truck. Additional model components were all scratch built in-house with folding rear light stand and re-moveable deck plates. Model had two functions; to act as a display model in a showroom and also to be used at various road shows with a roadside diorama augmented with road signs, cones and barriers.

Fit For Royalty

Valero commission
2 1:24 scale MAN TGX Tankers.

These Trucks were commissioned to celebrate 50 years since the opening of Pembroke refinery, the site was opened by the Queen Mother in 1964, What we didn't know was that one of these beautiful models was to be presented to the Royal Baby Prince George of Cambridge!

The trucks were treated to the works, decorated in Valero's stylish, clean livery with anniversary roundel celebrating 50 years of the Pembroke refinery. Real conspicuity lines with beautiful lighting kits featuring blue LED ground lighting, bright headlights, tail and brake lights, marker lights and flashing beacons on top of the cabs.


The batteries were discretely hidden away inside the trailers, linked to an On/Off switch. All connected by working miniature suzzies.

The prince's model was presented in a black satin hand made box, the other was treated to a custom sized acrylic case with vinyl base label, it now takes pride of place at Valero's main reception. 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had this to say about the model,



Kate: "George loves trucks but i think his dad will play with it more than him."

William: "I think this one will have to be on display in my office."

Tony Wall, Operations ESB -
 "Installed the display today at the new visitors center in our Turlough Hill (Wicklow) Generating Station. The Station is celebrating 40 years with much fanfare. The display looks great." 

The scale models that make up this unique and stylish display are:
1 x 1:50 Landrover Defender MK1
1 x 1:50 VW van T1
2 x 1:50 Ford Transits
1 x 1:50 Scammell Contractor and Scammell Constructor hauling a 8 axel push-pull bogey with transformer and cable reel load
1 x 1:50 Mercedes Altego Hiab and poles
1 x 1:50 DAF 85 daycab with flatbed with a railway sleeper load
1 x 1:50 VW Transporter T2B
1 x 1:50 Ford F1 Pickup
1 x 1:50 Bedford HA van
1 x 1:50 Ford Popular


Throughout July & August several thousand people will visit.  (The attraction is the station is built inside a mountain).

Tomorrow night 300 VIP’s will attend a musical concert in the vast cavern that leads deep  down into the station.  All will pass through the visitor centre where your work has an excellent place beside the entry/exit door. 



A little about the Hydro-electric station:

Turlough Hill, Ireland's only pumped Hydro-electric storage system, will open to the public for tours this Summer. These free tours will mark the 40th anniversary of the commissioning of the station which, set in the exquisite surroundings of the Wicklow mountains, is still today regarded as a massive feat of innovative environmental engineering

Owned and operated by ESB, the station can generate up to 292 megawatts of electricity at times of peak demand and can go from standstill to full capacity in 70 seconds responding almost instantaneously to the country's electricity needs.
