    I recently finished my latest project which includes a Matador Models Albion BY3 Cab/Chassis with a scratch-built GS body and a scratch-built Mk I Laundry Trailer of the RAOC as may have appeared in the UK in 1943 with 12 Corps. I reworked the cab to sit lower on the frame and also rebuilt the mudguards. The combination itself was inspired by fellow modeler Richard Allebone who used the Albion CX23N 10 Ton as a towing vehicle whereas I opted for the earlier BY3. Kind assistance was received from Richard Allebone, Mike Simpson, Les Freathy and Mike Starmer who as usual provided excellent input on the colour selections. I wanted the older scheme on the truck with the newer scheme on the trailer just to provide a bit of contrast. The figures are the Milicast squaddies. Decals came from Pete Marshall at Aleran and Mike Starmer.
    I have moved away from Photobucket for my photos and am now using Flickr so here is the link with some photos:
