Hi all well I've started on the fountain (not sure how to do the corner ornamentation yet) but I pleased with how it's starting, this is a picture frame upside down and a bit of the ornamentation filed off its actually 2  mil to low in scale but that's only a couple of inches overall.

I just seen that Italeri have just put out a 1/24 Ford Transit I even think it's one of the early versions. 


A British icon, the right age....

[Guest]

Thanks Ian will check that out

Emhar do a Bedford 'OSB' SWB 'O' Series 5-ton Recovery Truck and also a tanker and tipper in 1/24. Aoshima make an early Range Rover and Revell have a Mk I Ford Escort but its the rally version ?

Thanks Paul the escort is waaaay beyond my price range, the cheapest I've found on eBay was 120 quid, much as I loved the escort I'm not paying that.

Hi all I've realised I've made a huge error with this, so huge in fact that I'm just going to have to call it a London like dio (I could never have modeled half of Eros anyway) I was so busy trying to get the hight right on the fountain, I forgot about the area of it, wasn't till I put a 1/24 figure up to it (as someone suggested) I realised, i have the width totally wrong should be at least twice as long as I have it. Although I could remake it, it would mean redoing the steps, again on could do that, the problem is I would have to scale the rest of the dio up and it's already a metre square, I have nowhere to keep a dio of over 2 metres square, so it will just have to be the way it is.

belkits do some early escort rally cars that could easly be used as a road car. Think they are about £40

Hi all well since I can't work on herbie at the moment (still waiting for decals) I decided to do a bit to this.





As you can see from this the fountain is utterly wrong, grrrr, 





Revell made a mistake
