OK Joe, thank's for that and I must say how nice the model looks in Red, wish Lesney had continued with that colour.

brilliant work
Great write up on the wheels as well

Wow thank you for the great response on the wheels!! I have a very similar parts bin to yours it sounds like (though quite a bit smaller). I try to save and reuse all the parts I can. I never thought to use Armor All on the wheels, great idea!! I would never let that stuff touch my real car, but I'll certainly be giving it a try. You should post a picture of your work bench sometime.

We will always take those models off your hands and breath new life into them.

Those are wise words and I fully agree. When visiting swap meets I always scrounge the place for parts, which I can take from near destroyed model cars. It is like a treasure cave.
Let me show you what a beat up Spot On Royal Rolls Royce (not a cheap car when bought in good condition) can look like after some t.l.c.

I was hunting for an old post when I came across this rolls restoration. Super nice job ... this is what restoration is all about.

Love the tractors. Not much on the board lately. Put up some 'best of' photos....
