That's a verry diplomatic answer

As others said, build it, I think it'd come up real nice personalised, as I reckon you'd put some good work into it mate.
Any model I built would be classed as nice if it only had 2 glue fingerprints on it, rather than 10 
I guess that's why most of my models ended up with petrol or meths poured on them, or had a bunger stuck in them then lit |
SWEET  |
If only Dad would get his 8mm film coverted to digital media I could get some video up.
In nearly all shots of models burning in my videos I did when young, you would see a match drop from top of the picture, near model, and it'd burst into flames.
I even copped some shrapnel from a Fokker once. I remember, it was orange, (I hardly painted models) about the size of hand, and when blew up part of it stuck in me.
Geez that was fun. I never had powerful enough crackers to do a Tonka Truck, but I tried.
I needed M80's back then. I daresay Chuck would know about them

I've finally started! I've painted most of the parts, hopefully it should be finished by the end of tomorrow, no doubt my Foden Keil kit will arrive as soon as I've finished! Pics as soon as I've finished... BTW, The decals point out that the surviving prototype worked in Australia, so more info once I've finished

The main body parts are having their coats of Humbrol Dark Green at the moment. I also need to buy some black enamel and brass metallic.  My Foden kit also arrived today

Just got to paint a few more parts before assembly... I haven't taken any pics of the Atkinson during the build, so there will only be a finished shot... Although there will be a full dialogue and pictures of the Foden
