The pix from Kemmel show the French memorial again and the ossuary there which contains the remains of 5,200 Frenchmen, only 57 of whom have been identified.

What those poor lads went through...

It must have been like going into hell itsself.

I think we're all fairly de-sensatised to violence in society now what with telly, video internet & so on... but have come from a small town, village or countryside & be thrown into that lot... jesus... no wonder so many of them never recovered from the emotional wounding.

Don't mind admitting that i doubt if I could have hacked it

Terrific pictures again Snap keep them coming

Was this a 'work' trip or a holiday?

Watch it Biff :-D

I can't be expected to keep track of all my fantastic ideas...

Have I?

...news to me :schocked:

oooh i need to lie down...

theres was a 6x6 surf truck on a few months ago that was similarly wrecked... i mean customised :-D

I for one, would love to see more... keep them coming please

Should I get a Dog...

...or have children?

They'll drive you to distraction

But they can make you laugh everyday and love you unquestioningly (both)

Get both

& wrap the telly in clingfilm :-D

Well... now you come to mention it... :whistle:

Nah it was an excellent show and I'll take the hi-vis jacket as a sign of your involvement so :bow: :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow: :thankyou:

There's a fair few original pots over here but there's Dutch ones PW US ones pretty much the same as everywhere else.

My God I'm tempted

By no means an expert, but it seems a lot of truck for the dosh considering a conked out Jeep in the same condition would cost as much :dunno:

Hi Brian

Good question!

Someone will be along shortly to take your coat and offer you a drink

Take a seat and one of our specially appointed Ferret counsellors will be along to speak to you and offer you comfort and solace

you are among friends ;-)

This one?

Oooh Jack your eyes went all beady & small then :whistle:

There were one or two moments where the potty mouth made an appearance (ie painting a square black which should've been left white) :argh: :argh:

Not too bad... :shake:

I decided to adopt a 'low tech' approach as its probably what they did back then

Painted white first (just hood, bumper, wings, lights running boards rear body)

Then started out with a 7 1/2 inch cardboard square & a pencil!

Took the front edge of the bonnet as a 'true' then worked backwards to the screen, then out to the sides. A bit fiddly going down the sides of the hood as they can't be true squares as they go wonky over the radius of the curve so I made a hinge seam a horizontal line & worked to that. The back of the body was relatively straightforward (apart from the reflector recesses) as its mostly flat. But all done by hand so snow blindness and RSI were the order of the day :nut:

Wish I could :cry:

I'd love to do Bolero in it, but funds & distance is are bit prohibitive...

unless there was a low loader going that way from near here :dunno:

Might just get me arse in gear & pop along...

Is it to present an outline/silhouette for scanning purposes for some

kind of weapons system?
