You'll be fine. After all it is the battered and beaten GB so if it goes horribly wrong, no one will ever know.

Managed an hour or so at the bench doing the wheels and tyres......also made a start on the running boards, they have a chrome trim which runs the length of them so it was out with the BMF and then some weathering...........they`re only dry fit at the mo and still WIP..
Pics are a bit naff...............my new phone doesn`t take such a good pic as my old one did

The color is great, wheel hubs look very nice too.
But.. maybe such an old relic rusting away... tires should be flat, or even missing on a wheel.

Thanks chaps.......... John...the tyres are solid rubber and the hubs are very delicate so i`m not gonna risk removing them, she`s not gonna be a rusted wreck just heavily weathered, once i do the groundwork most of the lower parts of the tyres will be hidden anyway........i`ll be using the art of illusion for this one

The wheels and tyres look like the real thing and with the tyres "in" the groundwork it won't go wrong. Keep the updates coming brotha B.

Good catch with the running board trim,fella. Your other efforts look suitably grubby.
