Hi All I'm Mick and I live about 35 miles north of London. Got back into building cars about 2 years ago, but I have also done some trucks about 15 plus years back. The main things I've been modelling over the last 15 to 18 years, has been model railways. My main present project, is a 61 Impala convertable. This is being semi customed with lowered suspension and large rims. Another couple of projects just finished, is some etched operating bonnet/hood hinges and a 67 Camaro RS. I'll post some photo's a bit later. For now, here is a snap of a Lotus Europa Special I finisehed earlier this year. Mick  |

Hi Mick, A big welcome from me also. This is a good site , so I hope you will stick with it. I`m not exactly in `your area`as RC said. Where he lives - 200 miles is just a visit to the shops ROFL.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the welcome.
Like the pic of the Scania, Stuck On Trucks. I've got one that I'm going to re-build at some point. I first built it about 19 years back, so it's not up my present day standard. I also drive them during the day, but the plan is to give that up in the next year, had enough of it now.
I'll stick some more pics up tonight for your viewing.
Mick
