I need to make some vehicles for a Naval yard diorama. The downside is it's in 1/700 scale and I can't find many vehicles for it.
Anyone have any experience on scratchbuilding vehicles in this small a scale? It's for an IJN naval yard. I'm probably going to poach some US 2.5 ton trucks from the Skywave beachhead vehicle set, but I will need some staff cars and other types to give it some variety.
Any ideas on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
