I recently bought this 1:43 Renault 4 Pickup, modified by a French model maker, Daniel Lardon, to be a French Poultry Farmer's pickup, complete with cages full of ducks, geese and chickens. I teamed it with a 1:32 three-wheeled Piaggio Ape model by Hachette, to create this farmyard scene. French readers might recognise the actor on the right, Yves Montand, while American readers might recognise the Piaggio driver, who is more used to driving getaway cars than farmer's three-wheelers.
