Hiya Martyn,I was sat watching the evening news and when I saw the shots of that caravan site down your way I thought,bloody hell,Martyn could have be sat in his underpants on the verandah having his 10th can one minute and then the next minute sat on the beach exclaiming " thats what I call a nice drop of Lager Boyo" !! main thing though,no one hurt !! Cheers and best of luck with the “project” mate. Dennis.

Thanks a million to Neil [mechanic77] what a lovely surprise turning up at my house with two cracking models of Catnic lorries. A Scania for me and a Maggie deutz for Dai echo, its already in my truck cabinet with pride, chuffed to beans with it ,thank you. Regards, Rowland

[mechanic77]

As mentioned by Rowland heres my two latest modelling projects which I finished today. They are 1-50th scale conversions based on Corgi models.

I chopped, recabbed and painted them to represent a Scania 81 and Magirus Deutz operated by Catnic steel lintels of Caerphilly. The models were handed over to their new owners in Caerphilly tonight [both ex Catnic drivers with connections to the particular trucks] Hope they enjoy them. Heres some pictures,
Neil…
