HURG DONE

Well it's done, apart from a little bit of filling and filing, it's ready to be cast. I'm still not too happy with the grille, it would look much better with an etched one, so maybe this year I'll learn how to get them done.
Anyway, Happy New Year!

GENUINE MORGAN PEDALCAR

Something for the kids from the Morgan car company...

LAZER EYES

This has nothing whatsoever to do with slot cars. This is what I'm like if I've had too much coffee and people p#$%s me off!

SMALL BUS. It's underscale. However...

Well having given the old bus a good going over with a ruler, I found out it's actually underscale. It's actually about 1/36, which is noticeably small when put up against 1/32 cars. However I'm still going to do it because as a scenic item it should still look good if placed at the back of a layout. Plus I found a Jaguar Mk1 (?) plastic body which is exactly the right scale to fit. I'll eventually make a couple of copies of the Jag, so I can hopefully put one inside the bus on the lower deck, and have the other two as slot cars.
Here it is, still looking a bit rough at the moment. I'm hoping it will end up looking toy-like.

It'll hopefully end up something like this. It should look good with vintage adverts on the sides...

GREAT FLICKR SITE For car transporter reference

I found this guy's great flickr site. There's some brilliant reference for car transporters and other cool stuff too.

HURG GRILLE

Well I finally did a grille that I'm fairly satisified with. Next I'll put some louvres on the sides and then I'll be able to clean it up and see what it looks like with a coat of primer.
