Hi Andy absolutely brilliant work can you please give us mere mortals a chance, that just confirms what I said in my previous post.
Was going to post something on mine but I'll wait for a day, week, month, year now.
Keep it coming.

Thanks everyone, your comments have blown me away!
Allen, I know you were only kidding but it gave me an idea to work with, for which I'm grateful. My creative, imaginative side is a bit lacking so I'm happy to take inspiration from anywhere

I was wondering what to do this afternoon so my wife suggested a BBQ.
When I returned with this a few hours later the look on her face told me it wasn't quite what she had in mind!
Still a WIP, might add a shelf or something

Thanks Pete.
I have some HO scale coal (when I can find it!) that should work well in the BBQ. Thomas wants me to make some sausages for the top

Thanks folks.
I've got a mental block with the main builds so though I'd faff around with accessories for a while. I don't have any kind of plan but if I keep making stuff that's camping related, I'm sure I can get them to fit in somewhere.

Thanks Greg, and no need to apologise. I've been watching your amazing MACV dio from the start but somehow I've managed not to comment!

Thanks Andrew, glad you like it.
I added a bit more to the BBQ and got it painted up in Ocean Grey. Most of the images I've found seem to be either black or dark grey, so that was that. This will probably be the only part of the build that sees any "weathering", just so it looks like it's been used a bit. Oh, and I found the coal I'm going to use as fuel in it.
I also had a delivery from John today so I got a temporary spray booth set up to give everything it's final coat of primer.
I was going to use Stynylrez but bottled it in the end, I'd rather my first try of that be with something I've spent less time on. In the end I used Mr Base White. Not as impressive as their blurb makes it out to be, I think their regular white primer covers just as well, but hey ho.
Tomorrows plan is to get the white paint on, then have yet another go at the masking for the main colour. If I fail again then the whole thing will end up getting painted, I'll just leave the roofs white.

Terrific stuff, Andy. A pleasure to watch it come together.
I have a good friend who makes, and fits out doll's houses. I sent him some pictures of your scratch building for the vans. To say he was impressed is an understatement!
He buys most of his stuff ready made and told me your scratched accessories etc. are excellent, especially the gas bottle and deck chair!
