Always thought those cabs would look better with a big blob of black on the cab frame anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So , what you're saying Martin is that you're fine at stitching up wool bags, but if I had a bad cut I'd be better looking elsewhere for help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wey i'd give it a go like, it wouldn't be the first time I've stitched flesh. I've even got some metacam in the cabinet, a calcium syringe and some 40x1.6 needles so I think you'd be in safe hands.

Whilst I won’t be changing my cab colour, now you’ve done it, you’ve certainly proved a point of how wrong the uh one is! Must say the wheels are an improvement too. That said I’m still very much liking the model still. Good work Martyn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Following on from conversations this past week with Alastair (Alf Aphid), I've been "encouraged" to put up a picture of my ongoing Autodrome County 1454. I picked this up on my one and only visit to Zwolle, quite a few years ago now...… really need to get on and finish it. It's now jumped to next on the list, after the Scaledown Matbro, Hasegawa Toyota and Tamiya Capri! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
