Pete's wheeled cargo movers GB. Aug - Dec 2023. Chat thread.

[Ian M]

First off well done Pete you got this one sorted very quick. A popular choice.
Without further ado here's your host for this GB. Over to you Pete!

[peterairfix]

Welcome to all you mad bunch and a big thanks for making this possible
Simple new rules:-

Any wheeled vehicle that is classed as a goods transport.
ANY wheeled vehicle. From a tuk-tuk to an 18 or (more) wheeler.
ANY form of cargo. As in something that is loaded in or on the transport and moved to a delivery point and unloaded/emptied.
Military vehicles in service must also be designated as a cargo/goods transport. A tank transport is fine. No gun trucks. (defensive weapon at the cab is fine).
Remember after the war there where many ex-army vehicles that server in the civilian roll. (Who said Miniart lol).

Any scale etcetera. Don't forget the sprue shots,
If in doubt ask either me or Ian M
The dates will be the beginning of August to the end of the year.

[Ian M]

A hopefully quick explanation.
The previous thread was a train wreck. Peter and I had a chat about it, batted a simple as possible rule set together and started again.
Both Peter and I would like to apologise for the confusion and we both hope that this thread works as intended.

Yay does that mean I can build both truck and trailer.
And sorry for the confusion as I was beginning sleepless nights and days.

[Lee Drennen]

Well here’s mine unless I change my mine I really would like to build a Tank Transporter.

Still going with the Matadors, and definitely going to do both versions
Might do a Bedford OX conversion too...

[Lee Drennen]

Think I’m going with this combo with some aftermarket decals maybe. I bought the truck off of Sleezebay and the cab and sleeper was chopped up and the chrome was missing so I replaced it with a newer Cab/Sleeper one that’s unpainted and unbuilt and the chrome too if that’s ok. The Cab/Sleeper is identical to the original just molded in Blue instead of Red

[outrunner]

I did think about building something else but I will stick with this........minus the tank.

Best go and buy some binoculars.

I'm sticking with this, although I'm hoping to add some extra detail to the sparce interior, and it definitely won't be green...
