Richard Coombe's build

OK, count me in for another build!

It will be a fire engine based on a stretched version of the A35 van. I nicked the doors and seats to do Chitty Chitty Charabang, so this would be a good way to make use of the left over parts.

I definitely need an Aardman break after the campervan. It all got a bit intense in the final run up to SMW, so I am very happy to have the December 25 rule in place. My fault of course - I should have started it earlier than I did!!

Cheers

Looks like I will be getting my fingers burned again...

A lot of my summer weekends were taken over with various DIY projects and sorting out our overgrown allotment. Anyway, last weekend I got all my W&G stuff onto the table and started cutting plastic.

The fire engine is underway - 2 months to get it cracked with a safety valve in the shape of the late October half-term holiday!

My kind of build! ...

I'm making progress....but not as much as I would like. My wife wanted to go the Black Country museum next weekend with the kids. I said 'Fine' - on the understanding that I get to stay behind and do some more work on my model.

The pressure's on!!
