Thanks for the comments. I am happy with the build, but my painting needs to improve.

Will I or won't I?
Pondering on whether to build a larger Fowler engine on a diorama, inspired by a photograph in British Military truck of WW1. A traction engine has fallen through a wooden road. I will keep pondering.

Like another traction engine, a Fowler, as they were from Leeds, or a Foden steam wagon, the literature has just arrived.

Zak, it was fantastic to see the finished models on the table last night.  I've stopped commenting so much as I find I'm just repeating the same old compliments over and again.  I particularly liked the cobbled road that the gun tractor was on - a fine bit of recycling of what would otherwise have been scrap "hole punch clippings".  How fortunate that the size was 1/35 too and not 1/32.

Regarding workbenches, I also find that while a project is in progress, I get awfully cluttered - but it works.  In between kits is the only time it looks owt like decently tidy.   Now the Crocodile is done, I shall have a tidy up prior to starting my continuation of Thirtle Bridge Camp.
