I then painted them to look like steel

I have also been working on Bachmann VBA wagon i wanted to model one of the doors open .

so i have made a start by using a sharp Stanley blade and scoring around the door until i had cut through then i removed it

I sorted them out to see what were in the pack .

post-28330-0-66588600-1523971341_thumb.jpg

I then splashed a bit of paint on them .

post-28330-0-68015000-1523971491_thumb.jpg

was talking to my cousin about the coils on the flat bed lorry being to heavy for the little fork lift so the works has a new heavy lifter .
