Hi Colin,

Brilliant work Sir, as Tony mentioned, it looks bigger than it actually is, nice touch with the rope...

Thanks guys, nice comments

The tractor unit has fairly nice detail (Morris CS8 15cwt) ... theres a bit of flash cleaning and trimming to be done as i expect from airfix but its not that bad .... this is the bottom of the chassis.

Great work!! Simply excellent!!

Bit more done, still a fair bit of flash to clean off but i'm quite pleased with the detail of the moulding, just a little bit of filling to do with tippex and i can slap some colour on it

A few "in order" shots

Thanks Si and Neil.

Made an alteration to the canvass on the back of the truck, the other colour looked too bright at this scale even with a wash.

Lovely work as usual Col - especially in 1/72.

You gonna drill out the barrel? (I know! I got a fixation about drillin' out gun barrels, but it's so easy to do and it makes such a difference).

It does make a difference mate you're right, but...... ... .guess what prat snapped both his 0.4 and 0.5 mm drill bits..... . Do you need a clue?

It'll be done don't worry.

Colin just caught up on this mate, great work and some fantastic detail for such a small kit

Looking very nice Colin.

Funny, both the Scammel and the Morris are two things I would dearly love to see made in 1/35 scale. AA do the Scammel, but its a bit pricey... One day I'll have the dosh and it would of gone out of production. Just like the matador!!

Just looked up the accurate Scammel, it is a tad on the rich side eh, but what a nice looking kit.

I though I saw a 6 wheel morris in 35th somewhere but can't find it now.

There is a resin one of the moggy as well. Costs almost as much as the Scammel!!!

Lead sled do one as well .. not as expensive but still a lot for a 1/35 scale truck. I am hoping rather optimistic that Mirror Models might do them once they have gotten though the quads and the like....
