I came across this photo recently of a Bedford MK Army truck on a Lowmac; and it seemed a good model addition to my Shortmoor Military railway layout. There aren't many 4mm scale 1970's British military truck models available, but I did find this excellent JB Models Bedford MK Army truck kit from the 1990's on eBay, but  realising if I built it built straight from the box with the canopy fitted; it would foul the loading gauge. So I scratch built a platform load bed to lower the height, airbrushed it in Tamiya Dark Green after masking the windows, as the cab is a one piece clear plastic moulding. I had to make some tiny hooks for the securing chains from 0.5mm brass wire ( a fiddley job!). I shall have now to build an end loading dock now to facilitate unloading!

is feeling uplifted after watching 'Easter from Kings College Cambridge'. A peaceful Easter to all tomorrow.

Nureek, Retut, Hanunga, Squrlookal. That's my hotel room tonight...
