alf aphid Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not really much else to be said John, other than brilliant work, if I can get mine close to that I’ll be very happy indeed. Not much wrong with the shade of yellow for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Credit where credit is due John, Great work as always can't wait for the day you have a dio at Penrith to showcase some of your handiwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always planned to do a dio of a mixed farm set in and around the early nineties, running gear from the seventies onwards which would fit nicely with most of the stuff I'm making, it's just back to that old problem of time again, - maybe I should start with a table with just some of my models on first!
