This workbench is where I will share all the bits an pieces that I play with from time to time that don't really fit in one of the other main topics. Starting with a vehicle that passed across the workbench recently. This example is a Corgi, Thornycroft truck in Wakefield Castrol livery (sadly it cost considerably more than my more recent vehicular purchases - all at £1 each...). When I bought it, it was the usual toy like, very shiny livery so I have given it several squirts of road dirt to quieten it down a bit.
Thanks Gents, I quite like tinkering about with vehicles. This is another that I did recently - One of my £1 bring an Buy purchases from last Year's Keighley O Gauge do. - This is how it ended up It came in a garish yellow and red bakers livery and I wanted to hopefully portray something that had been bought out of military service at the end of the great war - hence the khaki paint colour.
Great Cameo with the bike unloading, could have been a cameo comp entry if you were Aboard P1 a little earlier, very nice modelling.

Here are a few more pictures of the rest of the diorama which forms a backdrop for a previously built two track diorama. The signs were images from the internet printed and stuck to some styrene and then aged with acrylic paints. The Pattress plates were cut on the Silhouette and then built up.
