Andrew,

Excellent work on the rivits...I just checked Youtube, but I haven't been able to find your DIY rivit video's yet

Both chassis' look great with a little paint on them. It's hard to judge the colours in the pictures, but I think the green looks pretty good, although maybe a little too light. I mixed and painted some colour samples according to Mike Starmers receipe a week or two ago and the green comes pretty close to yours, although a bit darker if I remember correctly.

Alex

A J The old hills hoist is good for small bits up to doors as you can give each one a hit as it comes around, one coat at a time, no mess , the grass looks greener too. Mum will never notice, ha ha.
