So, I have been giving the next competition some thought.
I decided that I would build whatever I could for less than £20.00 - well that is the theme.
At present I am working on the less than £20.00 theme and have been constructing some 1/32 petrol locomotives of the 40hp simplex type. These came in three types, open, protected and armoured. Well I reckon that I can build all three for less than £20.00, only time will tell. The biggest expense was the wheels from your local friendly model shop – you don’t recognise the description, of course I mean Croppers.
These photos show the open type with no doors under construction.
This is just to whet your appetite and make you get building for the competition.
So far
Wheels £6.75
Sheets of plastic card £3.45
Strip rod and tube £4.50
An awful lot came out of the spares box – bits of plastic card too small for anything else.
