Wheels painted and also the frame - wheels fitted into the AXLE box and bottom cover fasten into place ( needs trimming and painting before somebody reminds me ) and YES the wheels still go round   
So we can all sing "the wheels on the truck go round and round" next playday - hohohho

You can sing either one Chris - but let us all get inside Cass Hall before you make it rain - hohhoho
Postman has just been and delivered some Hornet Heads from Historex, have some British WW2 tank riders on order, so will change the heads to make them fit in with the 1947/8/9 ship dock in Vietnam.
Now who will keep Howard looking the other way so he doesn't see how bad I will end up painting the faces  :o :o :-\ :-\ :o :o
