Hi,

Thanks to all who have viewed and commented in the WIP thread and to those who did the same in the XE GL thread.

After 8 years I finally pulled my finger out and finished the first of the S-Pack builds.  This is the version my grandparents owned from new ('82-'83) until the early 2000's, it was well maintained and cared for without any scratches or dents at anytime in its life. It was later stolen and found burnt out. A sad end for the trusty rig that as it was. The trailer is also a replica of my grand fathers trailer that also met a sad end.
Obviously I don't need to say it but to those that are seeing the whole thing for the first time it's entirely scratchbuilt except for the tyres, trailer wheels and the photo etched wipers and door locks.
Mitch Keys at Electric Designs in NZ did the Stripes and Falcon badges. Thanks Mitch

I found some grass matting on Metro hobbies website in the railway section and the model sits nicely in a display case with the grass base.

The trailer needs the spare wheel tied to it and it also needs something as a load. I'm trying to think of something suitable that doesn't weigh too heavily on the trailer.

Thanks again,

Thanks guys,
Since my camera can't seem to take a decent picture under artificial light I took the model outside to try for better results. You can get a better idea of the colour and the weathering of the trailer.

I found out about this build on Facebook and just read the entire build thread start to finish. Truly some amazing work.
