No 5 Completed - Sort Of
I am not pleased with my workmanship on this one - rough edges and some lumpiness, but I am going on to the next one anyway.
Image 1: Note that the rear axle is shorter than the front axle to accommodate the dual rear tires - but as it turned out, not quite short enough. Image 2: I was definitely working beyond my skill level here. Was unable to cut out a satisfactory two-ply ladder, so cut one out of one thickness, which resulted in a ladder too limber. But here is the completed model (Images 3-4), and with its stablemate (Image 5). On to Number 7, the Fiat Ducato and the Winnebago Brave (Mino-Winnie). I approach all those very small parts with guarded pessimism. Don PS: Flyboy - Always glad to hear from you. I anticipate you cranking out a few of these in 1/144. Cheers!

24 is up. A mobile Customs booth. I didn't bother with pictures 'cos I just know Rick will beat me to it. I guess now we search the anomalies for the police car? Have fun searching. Merry Christmas y'all.

Yippee! This is the first year I've remembered to download all of them without forgetting and having to petition for someone to send me the missing one. Now to get time to build some . . .
Many thanks to Volker for this year's edition of our annual holiday treat.
