Well Done Mr King, congratulations its about time your efforts were recognised.

As a recent recipient of both excellent castings and generous help from Graeme, can I add my well-deserved congratulations.

And mine.

Congratulations Graeme. There's not much I can add that others haven't said before me.

Thanks for all the kind words . Now I must shrink my head back to normal size so that I can get through ordinary doorways

Nice one Graeme,
There really are some relevant names on that trophy.
I don't think it surprises anybody else on here,,, what you can do with a base body shell is extraordinary.

SAD

Well done Graeme

Are you going to make good use of the try by becoming the tea boy on Leeds,and Gamston.

spelling mistake on last entry it should say TRAY. I got all excited. Well done Graeme

I felt the need to slacken the pace of my modelling efforts for while after the Nottingham show, and had a thoroughly enjoyable day just looking around the exhibition at York, having a natter, and buying just a couple of odds and ends. Here and there I've also been trying to finish off the two part-resin Toad D brake vans, production of whose sides and ends got me started in resin casting about two years ago. They're coming along but enthusiasm has waned over the last couple of days because I'm at the hated stage of fitting all the handrails. I've counted at least 31 separate pieces of handrail to be formed and fitted to each of the two vans, after drilling out the necessary holes, with eight T-jointed handrails to solder up on each van. Mind numbingly tedious
I'm looking forward to moving on to my Chivers BY "pigeon"* van, as I'm assured that it almost clips itself together.......

* although looking at the "Steve Banks Modelling Articles" topic today, 5/4/13, perhaps I'd better call it a ventilated perishables brake?

Congratulations Graeme
Very well deserved..........your place for afternoon tea then, now you have the tray to play waiter.

I'll start cutting the cucumber sandwiches Dave. I only do wholemeal bread though, so it's no use for and fussy faddy wimps who only eat that fluffy, doughy, flavourless cotton-wool substitute.

Home baking in the dales remember!

I've not forgotten about the baking in the dales Tom. I must sample as soon as have a convenient excuse!

Not even the sawdust, toenails and gritty floor sweepings. The more abrasive the better. A true test of the alimentary canal.

Anything on this new A4 conversion Graeme?
