Hi small up date though I should correct my can's

Army Service Corps memo from 11 June 1915 which states "all tins that are used for oil, paraffin and water must be painted black, with a white W, P or O as the case may be marked on both sides. "Tins that are used for petrol are to be left their original colour".
The original colour was the manufacturers preference, but would certainly have included red, blue and green.


Base coated the towing mule.


Mock up



Thank you for looking .
Pete.

Great detailing and all of the 'stuff' in the sledge.

Where did you get the metal wieghts and squares you used when building the tank from?

Hi Pete
All those bits and pieces look superb and will add greatly to the build.

Hi Peter and thank you very much, the metal blocks with the holes in are called 123 bocks which refers to there size in inches, I use them on my gluing jig which I made 3mm steel plate to keep thing square as you can see. the blue things are welding magnets, the angle plate of Ebay and the steel blocks no idea sorry

Hi Simon and thank you, there are so many great builds going on I'm not surprised you missed it, as for the pewter I blame you, Scottie and
Steve Jones for that, but saying that I'm very gald I was introduced to it :thumb2: , wish I knew about it years ago.
Pete :smiling4:
