With the National Gathering coming up fast, I was relived when this arrived. 20ft container 'display box'.   So we could crack on with this little plan. Nats yard. Will share some pics when we do our final setup.  But the container that wasn't a container? Office.   Scale truck inception.  Also thought I'd spend ten minutes on the Unimog, get that up to standard. Added a working front winch and replaced the headlight LEDs with warm white so they aren't green any more.  Added tail lights and a socket to the back and a proper winch controller for the crane so we can perform snatch-and-grabs hands free now.  Socket? Yea, I'm silly..   Added a hidden pin to stop the bed tipping accidentally. So that's all ready for the Nationals. I'm fairly sure the fleet is ready for action at this point!  |

For me?! You shouldn't have! Good job I didn’t then 😂 I’ll be starting on that once I get Dans Scania done and the Nationals well behind me. It’ll be very far front stock. |

I think you’ll approve of the plan for this one. Definitely taking a leaf out of your weathering book. May come badgering you for some tips  after this weekend, you’ll be able to book in for the Nationals for 2024. Come show the shiny boys how it’s done 💪🏻 |

Can you tell me more about the land rover discovery escort? It’ll be a Rastar conversation. I only have a Dodge Ram pilot truck, Rob has a Landcruiser. Rastar make and made a lot of cool 1/14 RC cars, they did an Escalade too but that’s rare. Easy to convert to hobby rc, just install a steering servo in place of the motor steer and an ESC/RX and it’s away. |

Did you spot it? The new phone? Fairly obvious. Ok, back to it. I had some plans afoot for other things too. Helper helped removing the old tandem suspension from the dry van. He was very good and putting the displaced nuts and bolts back in the holes in the old suspension.   To be replaced by Lesu airbag simulation units.  first one fitted  And second, in a mild spread-axle configuration  the D12 Mini could not, however, get it rolling..  ..so the appropriate equipment was called in  |

Catching up...
Cabover is looking interesting, the tyres make a big difference. Look forward to seeing how it ends up.
Predictably, I love that Scammell Highwayman Showman's outfit!

Both me and a friend are doing a COE, mine is quite restrained compared to his, he's going full K-Whopper K100C Aerodyne VIT, even moved the axle forward to get it right. He also has this which is right up your street other than being RC-Electric. Has a 'Neutral' gear so it can just sit and spin the flywheel which is a nice touch.  |
