Decals applied & then most scratches applied this time with OD 7 the Pale Blue Grey

Light dusting of a pale Sand colour

Still a bit to do to finish this, then a small base to make.

Hi Rob
It's very Nice to get some building done :D .
I've been keeping an eye on what people have been doing, just not much of My own.
Mum's the main reason been to busy to build. :( She's had a second stroke & with visiting 2 -3 times the care home a week , what spare time I do have just disappears :(
She's settled in now so hopefully will be able to get some sort of routine sorted. ;)
Thanks for asking.
Been some great builds going on here lately. :)

Sorry to hear that Shaun. It's a dreadful condition. Know what you mean by time, but for me at least - Modelling is a Great Escape.

And with so little time you've still made a Great job on the Ambulance 8-)

Bad news about your mum Shaun, I hope she is comfortable and things are improving, try to rest as much as possible, keep the stress levels down.

As to the ambulance, love it! I have a soft spot for this one and did build one years ago. Should try picking up another!
