Marc,

Chuck

many a true comment said in jest !

As for what Barney said .............. well I can't remember exactly but the phrases "Glaswegian pillock"  & "get back over the border" were used more than once.

  You would never know that Barney used to work for the diplomatic corps !

Question is does it have a roof yet???

[Frederic Testard]

Great to see the builders. I think these were creatures coming from heaven or hell.
Awful to see mere humans are able to make such models...

[shropshire lad]

This'll wind you up , Frederic . Here is a selection of models by 4 members of this Forum .

  The lorry and blue loco are by Bernard Snoodyk ( Narrowgauger).

  The mobile crane ,Diorama base ,  mixer ,bits of road roller , skip wagon and white loco chassis behind skip are by Gordon .

  The white critter and black Holt compressor are by Barney.

  And the bits with vegetation are by moi .


  And by the way , Barney is not human . He is a mutant from outer space and only eats cheese and onion rolls .

   are you trying to set up a large scale exhibition ?
   Good start. When is the next one ?

"And by the way , Barney is not human . He is a mutant from outer space and only eats cheese and onion rolls "

Am beginning to think along similar lines as I have just found out just how many of the caterpillar/holt models ( all bar 2 being to 1/35 scale) he has built.................... 23 !!

I very much doubt if I have actually finished anywhere close to that number of models in my entire life.

I love cheese and onion cobs and then cleanse the system with a pint of real ale.
The theory being - now think about this one " wipe the top of your cooker with any type of alcohol it really cleans it "

PS .Am I in the right department ? you soon find out who your friends are after a cheese and onion cob and pint of alcohol.
