looks like a few quids worth of copper ingots there

Only finest solid fibreglass! In real life they looked like gold, better than in the picture.

:shock: still looking for kens v6 cant see it anywere!

Ken's was in the bit on the actual test track, and for some reason it was a closed set, so I didn't get any pics of that bit of the shoot.

Another day, another film set. What is it with these art directors? I knew they wanted a white luton to make it dirty, but.....

Ian's (Tb2) luton as it arrived.




At unit base, the art dept guys spray on the 'dirt'a mix of fuller's earth and poster paint pigment.




All finished, ready to go on set. Don't have a go at me for the number plates, in this respect I am loosing the will to live.



Lined up and in shot







Topping up the dirt between takes!

Nice one Fred!
I'm not sure I'd let anyone put that ammount of dirt on my van and it's hardly pristine! Great to see classic vans in action.

I would say yes. It took 3 jet wash cycles to get rid of it, but no harm done!

No you were not!!! Hope you like the pics anyway.

I Guess i got off very lightly then as my van came back cleaner than when it went

[FredTransit]

I have no idea why they picked on Geoff's van, maybe they thought it looked shinier cos of the darker colour . Hope it doesn't put people off film work!

[FredTransit]

It's been a busy week. At least none of the shoots involved vast quantities of dirt this time!!



Waiting with the other vehicle luvvies, the Mk1 was just along for the ride following on from another production. The SDI Rover was a huge diappointment, a civilian car that had been mocked up, something was going on with silicone and one of the back lights.....



Belle in place being, erm an emegency Ambulance (!)


She's looking the part!

And yes, I do know the Mk2 phase2 wasn't around in 78......

Another shoot, this time for Hovis Nimble. I actually don't expect to be able to tell that this was Bobbi, as everything was done in cropped close up of the back end, will have to wait and see the ad. The wierd part about this shoot is it was on a fully working building site near Billaricay, so H&S insisted everybody wore hard hats and fluros! Ya couldn't tell the difference between the film crew and the regular builders!!



Bobbi the builder, is she typecast? Yes she is!
In case anybody is wondering why she's not pulling a wheely, that was fake cement, bags full of cat litter!



As the advert's story line spanned the different seasons, part of the site/set was covered in fake snow, the magic of television! Winter in August.
