My little boy loves it though.A Corgi 218 Aston Martin DB4 restored into a 'what if Corgi had done this' fashion with cues from a real racing DB4 (NYF 7). Bumpers and lights shaved off, wheels replaced with alternative Corgi originals.

That is awesome! I saw your pics of this on another site too. Whats the process, how did Mike fit the lights? Tell us more!
He drilled holes were the bulbs would go and fitted it with LEDs then routed all the wired through the chassis. He's working on another one for me just now. A well known ph car in the Scottish forum.
Just finished a refurb on a couple of old (VERY OLD 1983) scratch built carts that were feeling their age.
1:35 scale so I could use Tamiya soldier figures altered to suit
The plasticard strips I built the springs out of had succumbed to the vapours so I rebuilt both, with slightly better methodology. I hope
front axle rebuild Coal Waggon
I built these models as part of a diorama of life in Brum at the beginning of the twentieth century - ish
The next cart was modelled on a very early photograph taken in Digbeth in Birmingham outside a pub called the Old Leather Bottle. Colours courtesy of guesswork inc.
When I grew up the pub site was occupied by Hanger's, a local Ford dealership and the picture I used had a lowered pavement visible which was still a feature of that part of the road in the sixties. We don't progress a lot do we?
I made a jig to form the springs from separate sheets of plakkie
Test fit of spring hangers, not in final configuration here
Repaired the harness and traces
And ready to show at Sutton tomorrow but I am not going to be up to going so you get to see them instead
I don't expect to scratchbuild much any more now, age has been catching up too quickly. But if I do...
I have some lovely pictures of hansom cabs.
