Impressive example of your work Nigel. Like the creative panel work. The style reminds me of the Old WW2 David Brown Aircraft towing Tractors.

Now there's an idea.  A bomb casing with seats in like a sidecar.

In all the film clips you see the "Erk's" sitting astride, maybe saddles and stirrups ? fit a  western saddle and eccentric wheels then you could give "Rodeo / bucking bronco" rides as you tow it around :D :D :D

getting close to the end of this project now just a few issues to sort out, its funny how when you start a project like this you have a picture in your head of what it will look like, but as you progress your mind starts to wonder, anyway this is what it looks like, what do you think

Nigel,

 

It looks fantastic. I just had a quick look back at a picture when you picked it up and the difference is unbelievable.

What type of paint did you use?

just used a satin deep bronze green i hand painted it as i think its more in keeping with the look, i normally spray my

projects but i wanted this to look old and well used
