Superb work on those opening doors and tailgate!

That's one of the kits I wish i'd grabbed when they were available.  Very hard to find now.

This is my personal best of show.  It won first in its class but when I was standing looking down on it I couldn't see why.  It didn't look special.
And then I bent down and looked Grand Moff Tarkin in the face...

There's something special about hearse style ambulances.  Never mind the fact that you can't work on a patient in the back worth a damn.

Should have had a pair of house slippers next to the bust.

Outstanding models Fred, very high class stuff.   

I see the Stolly driver is about to do the 'transmission unlocking' trick by driving it off the edge of the kerb.

That 32nd scale Lincoln is fantastic 👏 👌

That 32nd scale Lincoln is fantastic 👏 👌

I utterly failed to notice that it was 1/32.   

Presumably a 'conversion' from one of the 1/32 Lancaster kits, but WHAT a conversion!!!!!

Yeah exactly...it's a marvelous build ..it's gotta be a scratch build and damn what a build

Nice! Some exceptionally good looking builds in the link.   

Especially liked the micro-scale Matilda (looked better than either of the other two) & the LTVAAX1.

I'm pretty sure all three are 1/48.  One OOB, one upgraded, and one Junior.  The one you favour is the OOB one.

Yeah, I should have figured the entry sheets would have to be A5, but, as a 1/35 armour builder, anything smaller is micro-scale.

Cheers for those Fred, some terrific stuff there
