I do make the odd decision, but your right, not many!

Here is the Thornycroft ZS/TC4 searchlight carrying vehicle.
Scratch-built.

Nothing changed here then, as productive and amazing as ever. I always deeply admired your work and still do.

Hi Dave, imagine how many you'll make before the next show in 2021. There won't be room for any others. Excellent work though.

It passes the time during these strange times, what else could I be doing, not housework or decorating, heaven forbid.
After the rain, the weeds will be having a field day down the allotment, so plenty to do there no doubt.

Next it will be some sort of airfield tractor, I believe the David Browns were later and mainly on Bomber Airfields.
It will be based on a Fordson, but not exactly.
This is because the Accurate Armour one is no longer in production and I failed with an order to Matador.

Stap me vitals!
Another vehicle produced in record time!
Terrific!
You'll be able to equip a full 1/48 scale airfield by the time you've finished!

Bob's right, we'll have to hire Rix Pavillion for you to display them all!!!

Keep 'em coming,
Biggles

Just think when I do the Virtual Models on the Table slot on the web site - Dave will need a lot of space for what he has done since last month.
Thinking about it the page was for what you would have brought to the meeting and he only has a small car so would NOT be able to get all that stuff in it, he would need at least 2 articulated lorries !!!!!!

My Skoda Estate is like the Tardis, it would all fit.

Hi Zak,
It might be, but don't you think you ought to come clean and confess you really have it in a 40ft articulated lorry, and pop it out on the car park at meetings.
The space around it is now for your models.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Hey Zak, I have been watching you build for years now. Question....Where do you put it all when it`s finished?
