Hi All

I'm going to view a Kraz 255b tonight, anything I should be looking out for?

There is a youtube film by Russian Trucks taken driving in the cab of one of these back in 2007 and I'm sure its the same one judging by the markings, although its a bit rougher now.

Cheers for now

Paul

Ahhhhhhhhhh here we go

 

the video is here and the cam bit is 5.06 minutes in:

Thanks for posting that.

they were very quick too, thought you said it was a hassle?

welcome in, so what apc's are you looking at? 432's? there's an interesting saracen on milweb at the moment

Does anyone have any in service shots at all? Or was it SO well done you can't see anything???

I kind of think it looks good and makes things more interesting to see some cam nets up, but its true you do feel like you are intruding a little if its done in such a way.

Hi

Thats the sort of thing I've just picked up, apart from baskets instead of crosses.

Cheers

Paul

Paul perhaps don't get too carried away, it's always a shame to see a nice vehicle that I can't really photograph because all its detail is submerged in camo nets, which after all is the purpose I know.

 

But strikes me as a shame when people bring nice vehicles they have restored often a considerable distance to render them largely unseen. By all means camouflage the family, the bar & the living quarters but a shame if we can't see the vehicles in their detail:D

Yes, thats a fair point, after all it is a SHOW of vehicles rather than a HIDE. But sometimes if its done well I recon it can add to the display, for family and public. I promise I won't get over excited with this stuff

Hi All

I'm a newby to actually camping at shows (kids should be old enough next year SURELY)

Anyway, I've got a saracen with penthouse extension, 12 X 12, ferret and also after today, lots of cam netting 10m x 10m and 12m x 14m, plus lots of poles, baskets etc. So, that could mean a decent acreage under cover for the family to hang out in, have fun and maybe room for a cider lounge for consumption of this year's crop.

However, I need inspiration. Does anyone have any pics of their creations or good ones they've seen please?

Thanks

Paul

Good result, well done the Police and thanks for letting us know.

Cheers

Paul

Really REALLY nice job. I'm actually looking at your model and have worked out where a bin I've got is supposed to go in my saracen ACV, and where another one is missing.

Thanks

Paul

Done my first bitr of work on a friends Saracen (Sally) this last 2 days

when rubbing down paintwork on the rear to the right of the door there was a white number 88 what could this be and also the

brown sound proofing is in shxx order where could we get some more?

by the way reg is 82BA85

Hi

Do you mean the creamy brown stuff stuck to the inside? If so try Tim or Preston at Cobbaton Combat in Devon, they have a roll of it, bought some myself when they had their dig out earlier this year.

Cheers

Paul

welcome in

The Vamp was still there yesterday, as attached:

 

Reg on the Challenger is 94KC37

I'd love to go to Withams but its so bl***y far away.

So what are you doing down there Matt, looking for something new???

Cheers

Paul

what the hell is he burning in that thing??

I wondered if this was on. Who do I contact to book a spot for a vehicle?

Thanks

Paul

Nice project, photos and updates please

Cheers

Paul

I'm an RSOLE as it were, good site for everything RL.

Did the RL on this thread not sell then?

I have found that the mv lot can be clique too at times, but, start asking a couple of questions about their vehicle and they are away.

I think a certain percentage of enthusiasts are out of their comfort zone talking to strangers about anything else.

Preston has contacted everyone who was at the show with the details of what went on. Seeing as everything appropriate is already being done that should probably be an end to it here.

Cheers

Paul

Can I make an apology? I did not intend my post earlier about a memeber's atempt to wind up the Mods to refer to Paul. The comment above was editied, I think rightly, by Jack. :kissoncheek:

Hi Tony

If thats me you are refering to about not refering to then ............. none taken mate

Cheers

Paul

The countryside can be the same.

We have a country faire that gets held in one of our fields, and although I show the ferret and saracen I get called away to sort things out here and there.

When I got back parents were just standing and watching their kids jumping in and out of both vehicles, they were covered in them. Some had got into the saracen and were removing tools, parents just standing watching. A couple of them had actually taken a hammer out and had used it to hammer the s**t out of the roof. Now I have bent bin lids and chipped paint to deal with.

No one was stood on the classic cars or tractors that were also at the show. MV's are apparently different.

Rant over.

I was at the cobbaton show on the sunday and am sorry to hear about the thefts.

Paul

My ferret had alot of petrol in the oil when I first got it. It had been running with choke (I know its not a choke exactly) disconnected and left half open. It may not be the fuel pump diaphram at all which is a cheery thought

Cheers

Paul

Yes - compounded the paint job on some classic cars in my time. As with all things the secret is patience -do a little bit at a time until you finish one panel. Do not press too hard, let the compound do the work. Some people say it's OK to use a polishing mop but I prefer the old way by hand and a mistake with a mop can burn orn otherwise screw the paintjob.

 

To do a Goddess will take a long while but the end result will be so worth it!!

cheers Neil

When can you start??

Hi

Getting to the end of constant sanding painting, swearing sanding painting swearing etc, and things are getting better all the time. Has anyone had any experience of compounding? Sounds like it would finish off the paintjob, shining her up a little and losing sanding marks too, but I've never done it before.

Cheers

Paul
