As i am in lockdown i thought i would do a virtual event so here are a few to start maybe more tomorrow i might even invite Ken (at a distance of 2 meters)

This brood hatched out yesterday. 14-15 o them I think.

Found this old chassis from a greenfield that I had stuck on the scrap heap, so tomorrow out come the cutting discs, ime sure I can make something out of this

Got this one painted in record time. 5 years 2 months plus. Woo Hoo! Started on this project way back in Jan of 2015 and the engine is the one from the rebuild pics thread. The coil was recently changed back to an old school version since that's what was originally on the engine. Finally it's close enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel after pecking away at it for an hour or 2 at a time over the last couple weeks. This is too cool and rare of a piece to be left sitting in pieces out in a forgotten box. Not sure what I was think'n. Still need to paint the tank , touch up quite a few spots damaged on the yellow, figure out a decal and it appears there should be a chain guard on the front because of holes in the one on it, so maybe that too. Still not sure about winding on the cable or not. It's kind of heavy without it and there's no handle to carry it. All that cable is pretty heavy just on it's own. Seems it was designed to just be mounted and not so much portable. That Rustoleum paint seems like it never hardens so it's a PITA not scrape up during assembly. Started with this and now up to that.

Decided to split the remainder today. Should last a while.

Scratching my arse for some thing to do up the workshop so I will have to start a project out of bits I’ve got laying around, I haven’t a clue what it’s going to be, but these parts will make a start

Need to use some before I can split the rest. These two weren't much use. Just sat there and watched.

Where's Ian's Volvo engine?

Off to a good start Nigel, the chassis looks heavy duty for whatever engine your putting in it.

I think in this case the original decal is the way to go, it’s not damaged that badly and it maintains some of the original elements and character of the unit. Looks cool! I claim Vulture #2, JustO&R can be Vulture #1... I feel like I just entered a warped version of a Dr Seuss classic...

Looks great mate, I see the nose of the mighty Anglebox crept into shot !

Nice work!
