Thanks all, the car transporter acctually existed, it was made by a specialist coachworks they actually made loads of conversions of DS19s

Well it's finished hope you like it.

Hi all bit more done on this one.

Hi all well the cabriolet is finished, I suppose I will have to start the dio now.

Looking great.

Great job.

Hi all another update, well this bit is never going to fit. So with some heating and a little extension ted helped me fix it. Hope the rest fits ok.

Looking mighty fine.

Hi all well I was given an idea for displaying this which I thought would be quite fun (and as you all know I like doing "out there" stuff) sooo, this was going to be a robot but I thought it lent itself better to this so I stripped it all down and will be using it for the dio, what's the dio going to be? Well I'm sure you will work it out. And there's this little guy. I'm calling him ted. Maybe I will give him a few warts or something.

Hi all done a bit more work on this.

That's a great looking model

More work on the wrecker. Its a great kit but the instructions are really bad, soooooo confusing, moved those fuel tanks twice.

Thanks for the nice comments all.

Hi all here's another update, loads more to do in the interior. I tried to get the steam from the hot cup of coffee on the windscreen (not particularly sucessfull but I tried) I feel I need to add a lot more rubbish in the cab I also need to dirty up the side windows as well, I'm getting there slowly.

Hi all finished the engine (Still got the ancillary devices and what not to add)did some more weathering on the chassis.

Rapid progress Jim looking good.

Hi all did some more work on the chassis and differentials

Great modelling skills, looking good.

Looking good so far.

Hi all well I've corrected the instructions callout and stared weathering the engine, added another colour to the rear boxes still lots of chipping and washes to ad yet.

Hi all well I've redone the bodywork so no rust but staining and sun bleaching (Still more to do but that will have to wait till I've made and added my decals) Done some to the chassis (boy are they complicated) and started on the engine.

Impressive modelling skills there. An amazing finished model.

Thanks for the info, I've also been informed the cab is aluminium so back to the drawing board on the weathering.

Hey I know I said I was going to do some of my stalled builds but this has been calling me since I bought it, probably as I've not built a truck before (you get a lot of plastic for your money) I know a lot of people don't like it but I'm doing it as an old and tired truck, in the past I've got a lot of flack for doing this type of stuff, well it's my model and I like doing old. (I've ordered some inkjet decal paper so hopefully I can make my own decals) I may get another truck or bus for it to be towing. Made a start on weathering it.

Hi all well I finally got some bench time, got the rear wheels on, just got to invent some suspension.
