Now on to my next project, A Saracen APC.

See the new thread

This is what she looks like in Daylight

Thanks, i'll take some photo's at the show this weekend, hope the weather holds up.

We have a saying over here, it'd be a lovely country if you could put a roof over it....

These are better photo's showing the colour

more brown than green

I mixed the paint

50% olive, 40% brown, 15% black 5% yellow

Still has that olive/brown look I was after.....

Thanks very much for the advice, i'm going to try to mix the paint myself........

Here's some more photo's

Critical inspection ...We passed..

Urgent, got a real problem

Paint delivered from the UK appears to be to BROWN against older batch, really brown.

It is Tony sudds m11 ,same as my last paint, but way different.

Has anyone else had this problem?

or am I wrong?

ps, stirred it really well... before you ask

Shade on the lid is the same...

Ok, quit the messing back, to work....

Front Axle finished and painted, Wing and Engine shields re installed.

Windscreen wipers installed and working

Frost plug replaced in head

Bin lids re manufactured and installed

And floor welded

In Three Days.......ha...... And now to Bed

Next project.....Picture in Castle D'Angelo

Ok , you lot, I'm back from Rome..... Took my wife away for the weekend.

I think Oak will be very nice.

I WAS SULKING BECAUSE NO ONE GOT THE "WENCH" JOKE.....

please insert laughter here.......

now back to work......

Well I thought it was funny......(sulking now)

Thanks, I got the metal pieces from Wildenberg in Beltring. Countersunk slot heads locally. Diamensions on the wood from the site mentioned in this thread.

(Now for the funny)

WC52....Thats like our truck with a wench on the front..... How useful is that.

Ordered the paint today,

I want to be finished for a show in may

It sported exactly the same really ugly green colour.

Now it's ugly.......Em..........

We did the woodwork, I made up the Bowes to my own spec......

The seats and backs are as close as I can get with local materials.

I suspected the colour was post war, please don't tell anyone else.

We'll keep it a secret.........

Now, on to my next mistake.....

seriously, thanks

Working on the Engine

Rebuilt the Genny and sorted the regulator

Had to do a lot of rewiring
