          HA!! Very good Graeme...... on 2 counts........... Mainly the "Illuminating" one!!:tears-of-joy:
          The Genny is proving to be more difficult than i expected,but not insurmountable

                      .............. I can`t believe it`s been so long since i posted on this one!!
                      However,i have been pretty busy with it. I must admit that i underestimated the challenge of tghe Genny cart,i thought it`d be a sinch compared to the Searchlight itself,but i was WRONG!!! :flushed: :fearful:...... (Certainly not the first time.......... and POSITIVELY not the last!!:tears-of-joy,
                      ANYWAY,this stage of the build is a bit of a hybrid if i`m honest:flushed:..... i can`t call the Genny an absolute Scratch build for the following reasons:dizzy:!!......
                      The box section,made from plasticard an various extrusions,ROUGH i know,but will be trimmed......

                      Yeah,i know it looks awful,but it`s just a base!!
                      Here`s the Driving chassis(,now here`s where it goes past "Scratching") ......It`s basically the chassis from a 1/35th WW1 Truck that i didn`t complete....
