Those are all excellent. I'm going to have a go at your Ice Cream Van conversion as I want a model of an ice cream vendor's CA "Flooky Pops" van I remember from 50 years ago.
The rest home Benz Binz reminded me of "Carry on Screaming" .... Bide-a-Wee Rest Home although the Benz is too modern for a tie-in.

All you have to do is make a cut here and a cut there, and you soon have a brand new model!

Thanks guys :) Trying to get back to finishing up some of the pairings that I have had in the pipeline.
Here's my pairing of the 60a Morris pickup with the 66c Greyhound bus, to make a nifty lil camping car, that apparently actually existed back in the day.
I used the glazing from the 66c for the skylights and side windows, made my own front windscreen, I chose not to put side windows in the cab as it allows one to see the added front seats and steering wheel which came from the pieces of the 66a. For a bit of play value I added an opening rear door.

Great Job zBret, it is really nice to see what becomes such a playworn model.
Very well done.
So now you have to give it a new number - what is it: 60C - Morris Camper?

Thanks for the kind comments. It's enjoyable and fun to create these models.
Here's another one that I just finished. Not really a "pairing" but more of a half-ing.
I removed the upper deck from this 66c Bus. Lowered the roof, removed one set of
the tandem rear wheels,shortened the baseplate a bit. and added my own clear glass
windows. The finished bus now resembles the GMC PD 4104 bus.
