Done.
Finished at 2030.  Packed into a box 2032 with glue still drying.
It should go onto a table at the Ballarat show about 1000 tomorrow.

That's neat mate  :thumbsup:

I've a young great niece who would certainly appreciate it.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Fabulous build of a fairly ugly van to start off with Fred. Nice one.  :thumbsup:

Best of luck at the Show.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Very likely - again, like life, really...  ;)

Saw the van at the show, nice decal job all over really.
Oh.. saw Fred as well, his normal whiffy self  ;) There is some truth to the rumour that he may have been seen with several bits of plastic under the arm.. who can walk past a $5 1/72 Rata  ;D

Fred took a heap of pix, he will pop up shortly with them posted

That's no doubt that Fred can knock a wicked ride together that's for sure 😉 👌 😀
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I was having a bad pic day so most of them are a bit iffy.  TBH I haven't used my camera for almost a year and am a bit rusty.  I tend to use the phone these days.

Apart from that t'was a good day.  I did eat too much at the pub, but who could resist a "Spudarama Parma" - Chicken Schnitzel topped with a layer of mashed potato and melted cheese.  Served with chips and salad.  Mmmmmmmmmm.

I'll take some proper pics of the van at some point.  It'll be a reminder how to get better pics with the camera.  But first i want to replace the stock chrome grille with the custom one I had to remove because of fit issues.

As Brain said, I got some plastic.  Some of it donated by him after he won Best Dio with his zombie car crash thing.  I won nothing this year but then that's not why I go.
Next year's special theme is "German".  This might be the time to push forward either my 1/24 Mercedes G4 with Lego Hilter and Rommel or 1/35 SdKfz 231 Hot Rod plans.

Many of us would go even further............."What are these boundary  things to which you refer?"

No.  You need to recognise the boundaries so you can step over them and keep going.
