"Parkers Guide" in the August issue of Hornby Magazine covers my my build of the Parkside GWR Horsebox kit.
It's a complicated beast - far fiddlier than the van with holes in the side I had expected. The underframe is very impressively detailed and outside there are all sort of bits to fix. Most of the later are in ABS for strength.
I managed to knock a few of these bits off after taking the photographs (well, most of them, at least one is posed so you can't see the missing lamp iron) but an e-mail to Parkside resulted in a new sprue of replacements arriving in th post a couple of days later - excellent service.
A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.
