Very nice finish Tony :smiling3:.

 

[Gern]

Nice! But I do know one thing. That's definitely not an accurate translation on the back of that sign!

My Arabic is non-existent, but according to Google Translate, the top line says “Meeting 8” (ا لقاه٨ ة as I make it, “a lqah8”), but I can’t decipher the letters in the bottom line. Unless it says هاده (“hadh”) with some additional accents, which apparently means “this”.

Dont forget the guy who wrote the sign could barely read or write :smiling5:
Its supposed to say ‘Cairo -100’ :smiling5:

Looks great Tony. A lovely little scene.

Mucker, never mind just the sign translation. I'm writing what an excellent little build this is, dust n'all.

Great job.

Chances are I’m completely misreading everything other than the number 8, of course

Excellent work with a very dusty result to show for it. It's funny how Peter's group build has got you interested in tiny armour, and me in small-ish cars. Who knew !

Thought I’d commented on this Tony, but sadly not. So I’ll rectify this right now.
Nice.
