Hi Zak,
No wonder it is blurred, I bet you took the picture after the mentor session with Biggles.
You hands must have been shaking with excitement of seeing him post.
Its looks nice, any chance of clear picture, please.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

The hanger looks really excellent Dave. It did look like the real thing at first.

Is this a better picture - all faults on show, cruel camera.

I am really struggling with this Morris Commercial Ambulance, it just does not feel right, looks too modern.
I may have to try again.

That's better.
Persevere with the van, it'll turn out OK.

Hi Zak,
Like Haddock says persevere.
Most models don't 'look right' until painted and decalled.

I was just taking photos of the finished streamlined fire tender, assuming I had done all I could.
Looking at the photos, I notice that I need some mirrors, those easy to forget details, it is not like a kit where the bits are there. I need to write a checklist, in fact I think I once did, I wonder where I put it?

Undercoating, looking a bit better.
I found my list, filed it just where it should be.
Starting handle required? and valves on the tyres.

Vehicle storage box, I took the photo so I will know where they go when I pack up after a show, if ever there is another.

I just hope we get to be able to display all Zak's vehicles and buildings at some point in the future!

If we cannot get 'Telford' can we have a 'Cass Hall Extravaganza'
Only a thought.

That’s a really good idea 💡.
