North Devon creamy goodness! Slaters Milk Tanker in service (and a Merry Xmas)

So I managed to put the finishing touches to the Slaters milt tanker, which amounted to gluing down the ladders and gluing in the straps. It was all a little fiddly to get it finished but it is now over the line and ready to roll. On the next build I will definitiely drill out the bronze castings that the straps fit into - this was a bit of an error in this build, which meant that gluing them into place was a little tricky. Overall, I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out, although as always there are some places where the modelling can be improved....

Anyhow, it is great to finally have some time to model over the festive season, now that work is finished for the year.  I have several other projects that are nearing completion - so I really hope to be able to find the time over the coming weeks to get these finished off.

All that remains to be said, is Happy Xmas everyone - I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Milk tanker finished in typical 1970s condition, i,e. filthy!
