thank you for that Alan some crackers there. you know which one i am going to ask about  ;)
the Foden  ;D is it a kit or scratch built i love it  :-* (wifey i need some money)
is David Cassell from north east his name rings a bell
did you win anything

[modeller]

ho i might move some of your pics of the real trucks to the inspiration section
if that's OK with you ?

Thanks for the pics, looks like you had a good time, do I spy rosettes on your table? :D

On the R/C truck pictures, how big is the one at the back!!!!!!!! :o

Steve I think the Foden is one of M&G's  (listed as out of stock in the 'kit' section). It was featured in TMW I'm sure.

I thought the rigid and trailer of David March would have won something in the diorama section at Gaydon except for the lack of finish to the polystyrene base.

i'm not sure who made the foden but i'm sure it was an aftermarket kit. david lives in burton but used to live in brighouse. as for the prizes there was no competition which i think is much better and more relaxed.

i'm not sure what scale the one at the back is but its a big one. the rosettes were handed out to all the modellers for taking part in the truck show.

i've just had another look at my pictures i've downloaded onto this thread it seems that the end has been cut off the end of some them but the picture on my photobucket is fine. do i need to resize them or something? lets just say computers are not my strong point.

at the bottom of your post is a bar which you can move from side to side to see the whole pic but if you resize them it would be easier for us all to see them properly!!

bugger i missed the M&G Foden  :'( i have sent Mick an email to see if he is going to re-issue it, so watch this space  ;)
yes Alan its best to auto re-size your images. in photobucket just under the "upload images" you will see a link called "(more options)" click this and select Large ( 640 x 480 ) 
i will look into it and see if i can do an auto re-size from my end  ;)

Off topic but as Mick seems to be casting everything to order, presuming he has a mould it shouldn't be a problem to knock one out. Wouldn't mind one myself actually if he did a 'limited run'! :D

[modeller]

well here is Micks reply

Steve
not at present i have alot of contract work to do and as that pays the bill's i have no choice.
 
Regards M&G

so it looks like we are out of luck Andrew, if you contact him as well he might be tempted  ;)
