Modelling World War 1

Looking at the photos - something is just not right about the cab???
I think it may be a bit too low. Funny how you first notice on a photo.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers

Hi Zak,

Only noticed the 'cab thing' after your post drew attention to it, so it was not that obvious. You might be right but I reckon once you have looked at some plans and photo's you'll soon rectify 'any' or 'if' errant issues.

Probably 'our perspective' of todays vehicles might be the fault, not the model!!

      If you hadn't noticed it, I'm sure nobody else would know the difference, so lets just keep it to ourselves.
Haddock.

I've looked at photographs and my enlarged plans and it measures ok, maybe its the angle or something.

[zak]

Well, I think that is about it. Here it is.
The doors open and the rear body swivels.

Horses painted, just adding the chains and harness.

simply stunning

[zak]

Things have ground to a halt, babysitting, doctors, dentists, not well and so on.
Must get on with something soon.

Completed, just need a driver and load.
The driver is proving difficult, I can only find 1/35 models of seated troops.

then take one of those and cut his legs off!

[zak]

No, the body is too long and so on, maybe I will convert to 1/32 scale for future models.

Hi Zak,

Hope you are feeling a bit better now. Is it like me 'Man-Flu'?

Look forward to seeing you at meeting.

[zak]

No, a knee infection, antibiotics, drains and so on, not nice.

[Kiteman]

Then I wish you well my friend.

Hi Zak,
Glad to see you last night, and really impressed with the collection of WWI items you brought along.

I especially wanted to know how you made the door/ramp unfold on your horsebox truck. I didn't get chance to ask, any chance of an explanation?

Christine thought the collection looked great too, something very different yet appealing. Normally I get, "It's a bit green isn't it" for something I build.
