Ian, PLEASE, NO MORE DUNKING...

I thought I wanted to see this but clearly a Rolls dunking is too much for me and I could not look at the last picture.

I am now waiting for my Doctor to arrive and administer some tranquilizers...Image

A very sad Ghosty.

Twenty fours in the B&Q stripper and this is the result...I think the window frame got knocked off and dropped down the drain.....Seems to have stood up well....

Now you have shown the base, you are playing with model number 1315, a 1962-63 issued version with the 'High' front door top sections. You are allowed to carry on with your project... :D
