Grimleygrid Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Now that is some serious modelling there Arnie, cracking photos. I was looking at the first two and then realised it was your layout and not a real location! Great work Sir. How good does 74 look inside the shed, one of my favs that one. Always nice to see some 60s on shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted June 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2014 I just found the time to go right through your thread from the very start and...wow! SO many 90's favourites, a big dollop of 80's gems, some colourful modern day stunners, then all the cheeky wagons in the background (some superb OBA's I spy!), lovely buildings, graffiti, weathering, very very nice work sir!
