Building a 4-VEP

[fratton]

Bought the other three mk1's today, second hand with no buffers (saves me cutting them all off) and a scratch on ones side paint (less to strip) will strip the shells and add the truss frames tonight (no pics sadly yet due to nackered laptop but will take some for later)

Does any one know if BHE take exhibition orders cause they are at Southampton at the end of the month I'm wondering maybe I could place an order to collect and pay on the day ensuring they have what I want?
Will have to give them a bell,,, I hate the fuss of mail order I'm a new school eshopper!

Hoping to have a goodish looking vep in a month or two, then find a layout nearby to take pics on,

That looks great fratton. Always good to see another EMU born into the world.

Very nice work there. Any chance of closer up shots of the "faces"?

[fratton]

yer but as yet they are not well painted and unglazed,,,, they need a decent painting glazing and number transfers,,,, ill take a pic when i have them out next, tomorrow hopefully,,
