Hi all , this is my secret project that I started about a month go . It uses the new mini art GAZ AAA as the basic truck , the rest will be total scratch a build. I intend to frame out the workshop body as per original . A detail often missed by many . The roof will be removable to show of the internal details of the bench and vice , lathe and pedistal grinder . This is the work so far on the bench and lathe and grinder . Then they are test fitted the cago body in the body, More to follow soon cheers ian.

Hi I added a tool storage shelf to the rear of the bench and then scratch built the following tools to fit into the holes , 3 steel files , hammer , spanner, and a metal cup . I am working on a paint kettle and paint brush , I would have taken photos but it is still raining, better luck if the world does not end . cheers ian

Hi all , while waiting for the various sub sections to harden off , I did a bit of research on the Parm1 in my books . I noticed I needed a access ladder , so I scratched my head as to ways of making it and keeping the rungs equal. Nothing I could come up with seemed to work. Then I remembered in my stash I had the Hobby Boss T 26 tank, and it had a track guide or template . So I got it out and measured it up the spacing it was within the margin of what I wanted. I ended up with a 6ft ladder , I used flat plastic card for the frame and helicopter rotor blade shape as the rungs as the looked just right . As with all test pieces I did a reaction test to see if the glue would react to the template it did but is very minor . So I was able to remove the ladder without any damage. Other track templates may give different spacing but I cannot comment as this is the only one I have in my stash. cheers ian

Hi all, I needed two lamp shades industrial types , so I went to my fav spares box map pins , selected two and cut one in half and then shaped the results into two lampshades . Added the fixing tube , all I need is some dress making pins for the lamps . The lampshades scale out at 9 in for the large one in the centre of the house body and 6 in for over the lathe . cheers ian

Hi all after all the bad weather and 6 weeks of an virus , I am at last able to restart work on the Parm 1 This is a test of the new photobucket . I am still not too happy with it . It is a long drawn out method to load and select photos . So I hope this works as a test cheers ian

Since this was taken the cammo on the cab has been finished and the first stage of the weathering has been done , There is still plenty to do , build the frame for the spare wheels and mount them and then onto the final weathering cheers ian
