Absolutely excellent....that model is going to be fantastic when finished! Its hard to put a price on that sort of thing, but I bet it would be worth hundreds when completed.

...work now started on the body beading and other details . The beading was done by slicing electrical tape into thin strips on a sheet of glass . This is then superglued at various ponits to avoid shrinkage. Any gaps are later filled before the paint process. Louvres all done individually from thin microstrip. The door flaps for the batteries along the skirts were also made from electrical tape. The trolleypole flaring scratchbuilt from plasticard Still a long way to go , but thought i'd post the pics to show the procedure !........   |

...unfortunately not much progress as yet as i have been working on other models - especially the Van Hool Ailsa which is nearing completion , plus designing many more local transfers including fleetnames , adverts ect which are very time consuming ! - however i am definately going to get some more done to the Dom in the near future , promise !
