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 ...

Re: Splash's Top Gear Triumph Herald Boat
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)

Re: Splash's Top Gear Triumph Herald Boat
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.
