36. 'The last (country) mile' ; or, new re-painted road vehicles.
Thanks to @phil_sutters selling me some of his surplus road vehicles, I have spent some time trying to re-paint various kits and models, sadly in a quality quite unworthy of his prior work. The chemical tanker looks as if moulded from icing, so thick is the paint, but all have photographed better than I expected.
Two Bedford chassis will have box bodies made for general grocers' or light engineering companies' collections and deliveries, when I have the inclination. I am keeping the Army soft-top as escort for meeting 'Army specials'.
Phil's excellent Foden tanker provides an excuse to run the occasional tank-wagon or two, perhaps fuel oil for the barracks.
Thanks to Phil for being happy to dispose of some of his collection in my direction. Only on having posted these, I notice I need to paint a couple of radiator grills : whoops.
