Sorry due to self isolation, it will not be open for a while.

More progress, the Airfix ground crew have been slightly modified.
Lots of bits and pieces for the inside and shelf.

You know what I think - how do you do it - will you have your OWN BofB table at the show, or do you have to let Neil etc share your limelight ??

While the paint dries I have decided to attempt an AEC Matador flatbed as a scratch-build.
I had some plans in 1:76 that I resized on the printer/scanner. (x 158%).

I then looked for photos and further information in the books I had and on the internet.
I found a nice walkaround. https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/aec-0853-matador-walkaround/
The chassis is the place to start and due to social isolation I may give you the whole build in detail. Be warned.

Here are a few of the tools/ jigs used to get straight lies and right angles - I still struggle.

Back to the AEC.
Progress continues

You are a master at scratch building.
