Started my build on Friday, got six hours in on it yesterday and another few today. The A35 van with the back roof section shortened and the the rear of that re-attached to the front roof/cab portion. Added some paneling in what is now a loadbed. Had some serious chopping and filling to get the rear roof to fit nicely (pics to follow).
Shavings and sanding dust all over the place, looks like a modellers been here!
Tot seens.

Hi Guy's, Since my last post, I've managed to get about 30 hours + work in on the project.
The van is modified, filled and primed, I was hoping to paint it today but we have 90% humidity, it's raining stair rods.
Wallace now has his yellow jacket made from ali foil, fluorescent yellow from acrylic artists paint and reflective stripes form tape. He also had a peaked traffic cop style cap and a fat cheese butty in his hand and a mug of tea in the other. Gromit has a nice flat cap and a jacket to match Wallace's. The van will have a board mounted on the rear bumper with reflective red "FOLLOW ME" and flashy amber lights.
I've taken some pics but need to recover them from the madams laptop.
So I'm well underway and enjoying the break from other types of modelling
Tot seens
