Thanks for that - i was wary of the trap, checked once, checked twice got distracted and it now looks like a suspicious 70s accident repair. I will amend accordingly.

Just have it pulled over by the local Police Vehicle Examiner!

Hi Richard, as Robert the Bruce said If you get it wrong the first time  Try  Try Again. Your body looks good.

Regards Ray.

My Granada and Mk2 Cortina have arrived from Redandy767.

The Cortina and Granada are almost the same size when the Granada should be bigger. The Cortina is a bit on the dumpy side. The Granada’s shape looks much better. I’ve ordered an unpainted one for Jack (Regan) and George (Carter)….I’ll need to add some spot lights to it.

Hi guys I must get my spell checker working It seems to be missing out a few letters every now and then.

Andy those new Grenada and Cortina look very good , As you say the colours need changing if you are thinking of the TV series

The Professionals. ( Bodie & Doyle would get lost looking for Cowley's Grenada.) Does Redandy have a web site or is he just on Ebay?

Regards Ray.

They look good. Are they now re-available to order?

 

And are the dimensions mentioned correct as the 1/148 Granada is smaller than the 1/148 Wolsey and Marina? Is it quoting the size for the 1/160 scale one?

Thanks for the spot - I will go and check, I have been having some issues with the interface when listing items, I will try to sort them out today and report back.

I am going to put this out there version 7 some improvements, it could be cynicism but what is wrong, something is bothering me and I don't know what. Only had this 5 mins mind, version6 in background with version 7 in grey.

Hi Richard, Body work looks good ,shame about the stearing wheel it looks as if its OO scale. Or is it just a optical illusion shown in Cad form.

Regards Ray.

PS glad you left out those speed camera wing mirrors .

 

 

Ignore steering wheel I have a plan for that, A few more mods and hopefully we are there.

I like the lwb/hr trannie and think it looks better that the swb/lr version - possibly because the swb/lr seems rather too angular.

 

 

Thank you I have just sent version 2 back as my adviser and I are not happy with the LWB version. The SWB is very hard I think it is what it is now, the curves are very hard to get on a small model and are ending up on the renders looking angular. Hopefully over he weekend I'll get a the pair printed and have a better idea of the shape.#, no point printing the current version of lwb.

Hi all just a quickie if those of you are into N/2mm modelling and are into military movements ie transporting them on rails.

I suggest you have a look at butlerprintedmodels.co.uk.  look at the section 10-12 mm /1/144 scale. There is quite va good choice

for WW2 vehicles or post war.

Regards Ray.

These are the 4mm trial prints of the Hillman Hunter Saloon and estate, Granada Mk2

I need a Granada Mk2 and a Cortina Mk5, so I would be interested in getting them when available.
