Glad you're feeling better Ian, that's a great job on the truck, it's rejuvenated! I like these models, they had a few different liveries.

Would you believe when I was finishing this Pickfords I had started to go blind with Steroid induced cataracts due to the amount of steroids I had taken to counteract 6 chest infections in a row between new year 2019 and May .Luckily I have now had both eyes done and can see again and I am now back to reading glass strength that I was useing back in my 40s..I just passed 70 last week so plenty of restos in the old dog yet...Since the Pickfords I have finished a Shell tanker,Walls ice cream,Pool petrol,Timpo Toys van-All artics A similar Charbens low loader and a small bunch of Dinky cars.....Now to start on the big Mokos again.
