The GUY interior is different to a Seddon and I also wanted to keep weight to a minimum, keeping the kit plastic front axle in mind, I scratch built an interior from Plasticard.
This isn’t as daunting as you might think, I kept the shape simple and in three levels. The engine cover being the highest, the seat level, then the floor. Having taken measurements from inside the cab bottom, a simple construction was made and adjusted by trimming any excess plastic until the interior slid inside. Once I knew I wouldn’t have problems fitting the completed interior I could add details, a simple dash and instruments from tube off cuts, a steering shaft from tube and wheel outer from a metal key ring with tube for the centre boss and strip spokes.
A ‘Dead Mans Handle’ or hand operated Auxiliary Brake was added to the left side of the steering shaft and an ignition switch lower down, with switches added to the dash from rod and strip. I didn’t bother with pedals on the floor as these wouldn’t be seen and I was thinking of maybe adding a figure so didn’t want anything to prevent this sitting comfortably so to speak. I didn’t bother shaping the bonnet either as this would be covered later in the painting stage with the obligatory blanket or carpet. A gear lever was made from brass rod and a blob of White Glue for the gear knob. I had no spare or suitable seats so had to use the kit seats which were the same for both vehicles anyway. Other smaller detail items would be added at the painting stage.
