      Excellent silk-pursery. Thought a groat was the hulled kernals of a grain. Maybe that's why the coin name. Worth very little? PaulE

        Hi Steve
        The detailing of the doors is already a top job.

            Si - By the end of this build they may have one each to play with:smiling3:
            Old Man - If you had 1 groat pocket money and you say they were around in Eddy the first's reign, that makes you about 740ish. I must say you are looking very good my leige:smiling5:
            Jakko - I will leave that one to Kermit:smiling::tongue-out3:
            Paul - Sounds good to me:thumb2:
            Jim - Thanks mate. I wish I had the time to finish them. Maybe at the weekend
            Mick - Great to have you along. I hope all is well

            Great banter guys. Hopefully the build will be just as good

            Many thanks

            Steve

              Oh yes that's one great looking subject. I like the extra details you're adding. The doors look superb.

                    Hi Everyone

                    Guy/Peter - Cheers guys. One door has been completed below:thumb2:
                    Jim - Thanks for the link. I am already using this as my main reference. However as it is a Chevy I am cross referencing it with two other less detailed walk arounds. At the moment the Ford and the Chevy are very similar which helps

                      sorry, quality not great on this one - taken with one of the first digital cameras so resolution not the best

                      [ATTACH]309285[/ATTACH]

                      I wouldn't say there is much sagging in the tyre department - military tyres seem fairly robust

                        Hi Steve
                        Coming on a treat. Particularly like the half open window.

                          Thanks for the info Steve:thumb2:, great looking additions and alterations already.:smiling:

                          Like many I've made one of these too, although not even coming close to Jim's result:tongue-out3:.
                          Might do one in the future again, first see how you tackle this one into another stunner...

                            Great photos Simon. Is that the Morris CAT at the bottom? Many thanks. As the Artillery and lumber are lighter than the CAT I assume there will be even less sag. I will therefore just sand the bottom of the wheels flat.:thumb2:
                            Thanks Jim. It worked out well. I will probably keep the other one shut for variety
                            Fernando - It is a popular model so lots of inspiration out there:thumb2:
