Well its all done and ready for Mackay competition. Small base to display it, a few signs on the fence and in the tray. I also scratchbuild an old neon Liquor sign for in the tray as well. Hasn't turned out too bad considering I don't do alot of weathered models. I am quite happy with the way this has finished up. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Dave. I've used wire in the past but it's a PiTA to get the joints to look realistic.
