    Seriously Mike, this just gets better and better. Your attention to details and scratchy just shine! Getting close to the finish line now, I would say. Just add the tidbits and a few empty beer cans and you're done..

    Youngerthanme,
    Many thanks, will post more pics as I get towards the end. Time is catching up and the Nationals are not that far away, and just remembered I have a base to finish for the Churchill Bridgelayer....

            That is superb.
            Just back from the recycling centre, now sitting with a cup of tea.

              Yep! a trip to the recycle centre works miracles.... So got the 1930's body back again.... Yvonne keeps sending me even though there is nothing to take... wonder why the sad face when I come back....

                  Apologies Mike. Not had the chance to follow this....but those last few shots are simply brilliant.

                  I'll try to have a look at the interior ok ones when I get a minute.

                              What!! Couldn't you manage a cantilever toolbox then???? Only joking, amazing work Mike. I don't know how you can do these amazing things - gotta be magic.
