Rather than risk high jacking Marks thread on his scratch builds (which I'm looking forward to seeing). Also its quicker than individually answering PM's.
Here's mine and some picks of some of the crew figures I've knocking about in the bit box.

Daimlers two variants of the universal truck which was everywhere and on all sides. The ubiquitous bus again used by both sides( one borrowing without consent).

Excellent! Would it be possible to get a front view on the Thoneycroft truck? I am interested on tbe placement of the headlights and the support tubing (?) for the front of the cab roof. Also, how did you get the folds in the fabric effect on the roof of the cab? Just sterling work :-* :-*

Sorry for the delay,
I had to wait for the teething problems to be ironed out. Before I could reply with a picture.(all be it a naff one.)

The canopy straps are cast in a U shape (the two straps attached to the horizontal bar.)
There's not alot I can say about the folds in the canopy its just a few triangle shaped areas of clay on a box shape. I've no images of it in the raw so to speak. But there are some images floating around of the medival tents I did for 1st corps that show the method,(for want of a better word.)

Mark.
