      Just some new foam board, as I've used up my previous supply, and some barbed wire, although I might have a go at making my onw out of fine gauge wire, seen a couple of YT lips and seems easy enough?

        A delivery from the Easter Bunny (Well, a good mate of mine)
        A few days ago I happened to mention to him about using foam board in my model making.

        "Oh, right" He replied, somewhat dismissively..

        Today he turned up with these.....It turned out he knew someone who made advertising and display stuff.

        "He owed me a favour" said my mate, with a wink.

        Here is the haul. Around a dozen off-cut boards. Each one is approx. 4ft. X 18" All are 5 mm thick. I've tried a bit of one and the engraving/ carving capabilities are first class. Top quality boards.

                We had one for many years back in South Africa as the workshop run around, bought after the original owner rolled it during a snowstorm in Johannesburg.

                  These days the sunny pick up is a bit of a cult collectors car.....especially in europe where we never had it officially

                    It was a great series of vehicles, had a 1200 GX 4 door ( Twin carbs which were a copy of SUs). The engine was a direct crib of the BMC A series engine but no oil leaks. The engine was later bored out to 1400cc and continued in production as a pick up until the 2000s.
