Fitting the headlights has been an absolute nightmare, but fitted they are. #JFFWWI

Roden Type B Omnibus with some Airfix passengers boarding for the journey to the front line. #JFFWWI

Crew in place and steering wheel fitted. Just about ready for final assembly. #JFFWWI

Not at all in their intended position on the limber, my Royal Horse Artillery guys actually look completely at home in the Type B bus. #JFFWWI

My Airfix figures are good but rather showing their age, and given the scale, I’ve decided not to sweat over the painting too much. I think the overall impression should still be pretty good. #JFFWWI

Chassis and body now joined. Some alignment issues, but managed to straighten everything out in the end. #JFFWWI

For the brass work I’ve gone for a little less bling with The Army Painter’s ‘True Brass’. The leather colour came with my infantry paint set. Did I mention how small this is? #JFFWWI

Another candidate for the box to model size ratio competition. #JFFWWI

Paints have arrived. #JFFWWI

From the days when the King had a Vauxhall. #JFFWWI

While I’m waiting for my infantry uniform paints to arrive I’m making a start on the Roden Vauxhall staff car. One very small chassis! #JFFWWI

#JFFWWI so far. Big difference between 1/32 and 1/72, but a definite family likeness between the two vehicles.

I think I broke about a 10% of the tiny pieces during this stage of the instructions, but that is my bus just about finished. Just the steering wheel to go, which I’ll fit after the crew. #JFFWWI

Wheels test-fitted and the whole thing is looking much more like it. Still a way to go, particularly with the figures, and then I also need to work out a setting along with the staff car kit. #JFFWWI

Oh my! Such flimsy mudguards. Such tiny brackets. #JFFWWI

Another of my older models dug out for testing the height of my 3D printed airliner steps. Although designed for a Comet 4, they’re not far off for something a little more contemporary like this A319. patersshed.com/products/resi…

I have decided to go into production with the 1/144 scale airliner steps I designed for my Comet 4 model. So, having tidied up the supports for a more reliable print, they are now available ready-printed from Pater's Shed if anyone wants some: patersshed.com/products/resi…
