Modelling World War 1

That has to be the best yet!

Thanks Tony, I have just spotted a couple of my finger prints on it.
I'll get some weathering on fast.

Hi Zak,

Glad to see that you have managed the 'art' of matching numbers.

Yes, at long last I have that ability.

Should I start a new thread or just keep adding to this one?

[zak]

Well no response to the last post so I will just carry on.
Here are some Model T Fords in various guises.
This is an RPM kit straight from the box, I bought this at Telford.
The first one is before any weathering.

These two were scratch built and have cast resin wheels and headlamps.
The first is an ambulance, the second is an ambulance repair and supply vehicle.
I sort of did my best guess from photographs, could not find any plans.
Watch out there could be more Model T's.
Many were supplied by Ford dealers in Britain.
Strange they are not black.
The last photo shows the 4 built together.
You will find the one with a Vickers Machine gun in an earlier post.

Sometime in the near future I honestly think ALL your WW1 stuff should be on display to Joe Public even if it means some of us have to forgo the pleasure of displaying some of our own models.
Haddock.
(that's another controversial thought) 

[Bigkev]

Actually I agree with you Haddock.

Dave's models are fantastic in their own right, but collectively they form a unique and extremely impressive display.
I would happily agree for this collection to have its own space at any show we attend, or even our own.

I was wondering whether to contact the Great War SIG about having a table or two at a show.
Perhaps I will.
Thanks again for you thoughts, a good idea.

Hi Zak,

Go for it mate. I will give you 100% backing on putting on such an impressive display.

At the moment I make that at least 1 table required, maybe 2??

Contacted the Great War SIG, they are happy for me to attend on their behalf. I now need to book a couple of tables.
I may also need to borrow some club cloths if possible.

[Bigkev]

Hi Zak,

I'm sure I can get you a good hire price for club cloths ..................................Ha ha ha!

Only joking.

No worries we will sort out some covering for you mate.

Actually I was going fully clothed.
I have asked for a couple of tables, via the contact on the website, hopefully will hear one way or the other soon.
I could fill 2 tables, with a few aircraft as well and maybe the odd donation from club members.

you deserve your own museum!
