Superb work on the interior. Looks suitably dirty.

Neat !!! If you go by the real picture, you might want to tilt the left front down a bit .... then add a bit of horror to the look on the driver's face ...

It's been a good week, I had a successful job interview on Monday and start work again next month. I had a slight glitch on Tuesday when I crashed one of my r/c nitro helicopters, but that's now fixed and flight tested.

Back to the Top Gear Herald, I have now mounted it on its base after giving it a rusty oil wash, I have used PVA glue to blend it in to the base, this should dry clear (fingers crossed)

Funny how the jobs you think will be hard turn out easy, I was not looking forward to fitting the windshield or the sails to the mast but both jobs when with no fuss or bother I just used PVA glue for both and due to the unusually high temperatures we are having in the UK they both were fitted and set within minutes.
Even James hair is starting to take shape just by brushing on green stuff.
