Okdoky Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Brian As ever, you are there to give me a good poke in the ribs to get my mojo going and I really appreciate you looking in on me !! SWMBO was not well having had a serious spell in hospital ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, combine that with yet more cuts and changes in the work has been getting me preoccupied in the least popular manner as I am sure many in the same situation around the country are all too familiar with !!!! My lovely Mrs has to keep out of mischief and stay out of hospital ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, even if it is just to make sure my cuppa and cake is passed to me at the work bench !!! Seriously peed off with my total lack of mojo and stagnation on my builds !!!! I have moved office yet again and getting to grips with new routines and ways to do what I was doing and keeping my head below the parapet otherwise but I am keen to get back in the saddle and get going again !!! Hopefully with you giving me a poke it will gee me on again !!! THANKS SO MUCH AS ALWAYS Best regards Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Coming together nicely Nige. I do like it with the cab in place, gives a bit of scale to the size of the build. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adt70hk Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi Nige Being relatively new to the forum I've only just come across this but I see it's been a real labour of love already. Being a 1/72 QB man (my intro explains why) I'm am continually at the lengths people like you will go to, not to mention what you can achieve!!!!! I'm realy interested to see how this turns out as my father was a General Foreman at the Bedford plant in Dunstable right up to the very end. Keep up the good work and I hope it doesn't take another three years to get it finished. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineer66 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Nice work Nige. Like the innovative thinking with the plastic 'feet' for the headlamps. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthemodeller Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) That's starting to look a bit good now... another few years and it might even be finished!

James B Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What a privilege to catch this thread. I'm always blown away by people's scratch built stuff, and yours is no exception. What a long process to stay enthused and motivated, well done. Please keep up the great work, I'm really looking forward to seeing it progress through the final stages and see the final piece. Thank you for taking the time to post the updates. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only out of rattle can Brian That Coles crane is a bit of all right ain't it ????
