    Brilliant job Gary ,now you've pit it on the little base its rally (did you see what I did there)doubled the visual appeal of what was a excellent model to begin with. Dave

      Haha Dave, very ingenious my friend. :smiling2:

        Great base and nicely positioned on the diagonsl. Clever use of tubes to denote the edge of the road during heavy snow.

          Thanks Stefan, the tubes are covers from paint brushes, I just used what I had to hand.

            The base is excellent, Garry. Brings the model up another notch. By the way, my car isn't covered in mud and snow like that. We don't get much here in Cyprus, only a few days in winter in the mountains. My car is always thick with red dust as we live in the middle of farmland.

              That's come out great Garry, it's definitely seen some action. Base adds another level too, very nice.

                  Thanks John. I'll bet that red dust gets in everywhere.

                          That is very kind of you Allen, and no physical evidence of the nudging is evident.
