enginelane Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Now you've retired, it must be costing you a fortune now there's no free apples!!!! Only thing I used to get were the Xmas cards from the strange kids who gave them out in September and a bottle of Daddy’s Brown Sauce from the cast of a production I made props for with my class. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Carrying handle made, will be part of the WRMS stand at Warley but if not travelling that far or prefer to pay only £7 and free parking then see it at Wakefield Show 16/17/18 th Nov Thornes Park Wakefield 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 It’s that lull before the storm, PaT testing done, suppliers organised, traders and layout owners all contacted but until next Monday getting stuff ready to take for the Wakefield Show not a lot left to do so will spend sometime today building up these models bought from the secondhand stall last year. 53 and 57 vintage motors but the small garage specialises in the “ older “ models so will use to enhance the little cameo scene. Interesting that the Magnuson car and Foundry kits look like they are cast in a clear resin with just white metal wheels and bumpers to add. The Alloy forms is more the traditional white metal kit and as noted elsewhere will resist the temptation to recreate the scene from Tool Man. Might have a go at opening a door and the bonnet to expose an engine 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 The resin cast models needed to be thoroughly washed in soapy water as paint did not want to stick. I was hoping to use a Sharpie pen but it just “ pulled” across the surface and dried very sticky. Had to start again with paint. Before doing any major surgery with the Nomad made a paper template and will use to create a replacement bonnet using thin sheet from a tomato paste container. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Using the template then cut a rough shape from the thin metal and with the end of a rounded paint brush handle formed the shape over the existing white metal bonnet. Will need to make inner wheel pieces and will use a Langley engine block from the spares box 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I might add a battery and a disc for the radiator cap but I am not going to shave the bumpers, drop it to the floor or put 18 s on the front and 20 s on the back to get the stance right 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
