I could be the worlds most disorganised modeller if I really tried.

I hope you like the new Avatar of me courtesy of Martin.
Here are some Horse Ambulance, that is ambulances for horses.
The first is a Horse drawn one.
The other is a Commer Car one. They are both in primer.
The loading door actually goes up and down as per the prototype.
I learnt with interest that Janice is into the Blue Cross so these may interest her at the next meeting.

Very Nice dear Zak!

I remember seeing one of these at Sledmere when they had a memorial day for the Waggoner's.

I can tell you are not going to the allotment much this time of year. Fantastic stuff and quick too!!

Any joy for Huddersfield, Mon Ami?

I,ve been flat on me back with the flu all week and am playing catch up, believe me there`s nowt better than a good example of scratch building to brighten the spirit and this has done the trick. I may even slowly take up my scalpel and do some again tonight if my nose will stop running long enough. (watch out for wierd camo patterns on future models! D.S.C. Disruptive Snot Camouflage).
Bloody well done Dave.
Nice shirt by the way, with a set of neck beads and a red spot between your eyes you could pass for some Hare Chrishna character!

Thanks Hardi Rama, Hardi Rami or something like that.
More Horse Ambulance on the way, nothing until next week we are away.

After a weekend away and all the festivities, its eventually back to some modelling.
The Commer car is on hold while I do a bit more research, so here is a new lorry. This will be a Thornycroft J type with a Dennis body for carrying horses.
This is a bit different as the whole body rotates so that the horses could be led on and off forwards.

Here is a start with the springs, chassis and wheels.
The disc wheels where formed by plunging a mould into some heated plastic card. When I say mould it was a wooden screwdriver handle.
The chassis is 80 thou plastic card.
The springs are 5 leaves of 20 thou card made on a balsa former.

Real modelling eh!

I couldn't possibly comment, but it could all be very fishy.
