Oh, of course, I'd seen that Streetpaper model, but I did mine quite separately. In fact, if you have mine, you can compare it and see that despite mine being smaller, the detail is better - the crest on the side is more accurate, and the front has photo-realistic grille and lights. I did not copy any of the SP model - mine is a completely different construction method. If I ever do a repaint of someone else's model, (like the trams & narrow gauge trains), I do so with the author's permission and give full credit on the website.
The only thing wrong with mine is that the roof beacon ought to be raised up on a wire stand, but I leave that for the constructor to sort out. No reason why it can't be done.

As pointed out, there's no copying involved here - I mean, how many apparently similarly "painted" models of, say, a Lockheed Lightning are there?

As Don has said he'll build this at 1/50th scale, I thought I'd do a (US) O-scale version because not everyone can just print it out bigger "as is". This is split into three pages, making things easier. Anyone wanting it - email me ([email protected])
Any others of my vans could be given the same treatment. Just ask.

PS: I never know what scale the StreetPaper models are - is it about 1/43rd (British O-scale) or 1/45th (European O-scale)?
PPS - My models are all scaled to fit on A4 paper. Is that a problem for you over there printing onto US Letter? If so, I could do you another version if you tell me the size.

The Car's the Star again! A SWB Defender as seen in "Vera" (correct number plates too.)
Not done a test-build of this - Nick Dale's going to do one soon, but if anyone else wants a go, let me know!

BTW - I'm offering these two Defenders free to Paper Modelers members for this month only. After that they'll go on the site at £1 each.

Fixing the bonnet on neatly is a bit tricky. It may be necessary to trim the tabs a bit as shown here.



The spacers that are provided are supposed to pad it out to stop it from collapsing when being fitted. Trim them as necessary.

Many more colour variations available on the site now:

110's:



90's:



Each has a different registration number (authentic where possible)

Some are free to anyone, but I remind you that the "Death In Paradise" 110 and the "Vera" 90 are still free to PaperModelers members this month!

I have added a pair of axles to the Land Rover models now, plus a diagram showing the fit of these and the floor.

Your models look like they are 1/87, is that right, Graham?
