Uncertain T Scratch. I built this body, measurements taken my resin build a few years ago. It's boxy, Plasticard sheet plus three sizes of Plasticard square section rod/tube. I've now to do an extensive search through numerous boxes of spares, to complete. Fingers crossed that I complete it! The trim ring is for the round rear window.  The engine parts...  The engine block is out of shot in a vice. |

Thanks Rallymaster. Yes I think I've found everything to continue, now to try making a chassis!

Thanks Steve. I think I have all of the 'bits' but I've never built a chassis before in 60 years of modelmaking!

About to abort, after a week trying to build a chassis it's fallen apart! I'll go back to building kits!

scratchbuilding one of your favorite models is challenging. Building a body is one of them  Hope it comes out great... look forward to completion. |

Well we've yet to move house which may take up to 3 months. So packing 5 cabinets of built models is the first mammoth task!

Update 27.03.2024. Bungalow purchase all over! The lady we wanted to buy from couldn't/wouldn't decide what her future house should be/look like and pulled her sale to us. The five others in the chain below us are hanging on. Our buyer 'Devastated' that we had nowhere to go, definitely not renting, don't want to pay £1000+ per month out of our possible house sale funds!

That has to horrible to think that kind of deal would go through and then just not happen. And it sounds like you were packing up already. I’m sure it’s a terrible let down. I’m so sorry I hope something works out for you |

Yes Zombie Shay I have 300 models packed! We will wait until later in the year to look for another bungalow, hopefully there's no more price rises!
