Just had an email from Wonderland models and the courier, mine will be with me this afternoon

Spent a bit of time in the hobby room getting the lower chrome trim finished, quite happy with the results.

Yes, I actually found photos of a Nomad painted in the same colour, after i had fitted the seats of course, I can actually see the moulded in lines now, how I missed that I really don't know, this one has gone on the backburner until I can get the heating sorted in the garage, as I need to mask up and airbrush the engine bay and inner wheel arches in satin black,it's say too cold out there to airbrush lacquer paints, I also need to figure out how I'm going to replicate the read wing side trim, sadly the photo etch parts were damaged in the box, I'll see if I can mask up the seat backs and brush paint the black parts.

The Chevrolet Bel Air has been put away until I can get the engine bay and inner wings airbrushed in satin black, and figure out how I'm going to replicate the rear side trim, so the Chevelle is back on the bench, starting with the BMF

I had a good look at the van and pickup models at the Scale model world ipms show the weekend, castings are superb, I'm holding out for the Traveller kit in the new year.

Superb build....

Revell didn't make the model of the Lieferwagen, I converted it from the Revell Universal kit ,and yes, from what I've found out the Lieferwagen wasn't a common sight, but they do exist

Finally found some time today to get the building bench decluttered

The main structure was actually made of steel, the front wings, outer door skins, read quarter panel, roof panel, bootlid and bonnet was made of Duraplast, a mixture of cotton fibres and phenol resin. This is the steel structure

Very nice build.

You can see the Work in Progress here,showing more detail.

Yes, years ago it was called the IPMS Nationals, although the competition entries are upstairs in a different room that only IPMS members can go and see, I gave kept up my membership for a few years, I'm thinking of rejoining very soon.

There is Renaissance models in France, I've bought a lot from them, great quality castings https://www.renaissance-models.com/ter/index.php

Woops, it happened again, popped to the IPMS show @ Telford this morning with the intention of not buying any models, this one was asking for me to take it home, how could I refuse??

No, just there as a visitor, in all the years I've been modeller, I've never entered any competitions or put them on show.
