Thanks Codger, yes I was planning on putting the stands under the chassis not the axles Wayne

I recently took delivery of some Pocher Merc and R-R spares that a friend purchased for me in South Africa. In them were these axle stands, are these Pocher parts or from somewhere else? I think I will use them to display my car, to keep the weight off the wheels. On the subject of wheels, Codger do you know whether the Model Motorcars tyres will fit the kit wheels? I just cannot afford the MMC wheels as well. Thanks Wayne

Wow thats a brilliant build

But we can try get in as much as possible, or even just enough to make it look right Wayne

Couple of photos from the Rolls-Royce event, not many PIIs around, I did get these pics of a 1934 engine.

Wow where do I find those axle stands? Thanks Wayne

Great build, I have only recently discoverred these Knights and want one - It will have to be one with the gatling gun. Wayne

Cameras are going with for sure - Picked up some off cuts of veneer today, will try a new dash and cappings with them - If anyone wants any let me know - May have to cut the longer sheets to fit an envelope - They are a little wavy but I hope that glueing them to a kit part will help. Wayne

Thanks Codger, I am thinking this to be a modern restoration - I am off to a Rolls-Royce event at the end of June and will have a look at a few cars there as well. Wayne

So having spent some time this afternoon making the ht lead connectors I had a look tonight at some PII engine pics and they have push on leads, so I had a look this evening at making one - seems to have come out OK - Now do I leave it with the screw connectors, esp since I have ordered more nuts - Or do i go with push on leads??? Damn I hate choices Wayne

very little visual progress today, been making spark plug connectors - 12 connectors and so far 10 pins, 0.6 nuts threaded onto copper wire - Have to wait for more nuts to make the other two - Also filled the existing spark plug holes on the engine with a piece of ali tubing to reduce the hole size. Wayne

I am sure that will help thanks Codger Wayne

Hi All, been fettling with the chassis parts today cleaning up mainly - Codger could I ask a favour please, could you tell me the dimensions inside of the chassis rails at the three metal cross members please. I seem to have drilled the holes a little deeper whilst geting them wider - Thanks Wayne

Hi Larchiefeng, Don't think I will be weathering like Codger did, more highlighint, shadows to bring out detail as I have - I tried a bit of weathering on the gear box but was not very successful. I will try not to have such big gaps but finding time is difficult. Wayne

It is indeed Borez

Hi Codger, not sure i will do it like yours, I was concentrating on the DVD and did the above, they are loose so I can remove them, will have a look tomorrow - Water pump bits are loose still Where can I get black HT leads? Don't like the kit red ones Thanks Wayne

Spent a pretty productive day working on engine detail - A lot of parts are just placed together here. Wayne

Thanks to Bootneck for the decals, I have managed to add some more to the Foden. Wayne

Cool build, I have done a few Rhodesian Hunters in 1/72 Wayne

NIce, i like the Star Destroyer, nice easy kit to build it seems

very nice build, looks a much better kit than the one I built Wayne

Hales 1/72 Foden 'C' Type Steam Wagon

No I didn't

Thanks Col & CliffB

This is as finished as its going to be - Decals broke up when put in water so now on the lookout for something else suitable, will need to check my decals box or keep an eye on eBay. Wayne
