The hardest part was the decals.
Took photos of mine shrunk the photo down till they matched the 1/18 scale
of the previous ones that had to sandpaper off, then printed them out on sticky back paper.Bit fiddly with scissors.
The wheels were standard rover but mine has Minolite.
Got some 1/18 scale of the bay, had to shorten the axles .they came with low profile wide tyres ,had to narrow the wheel and change the tyres over.

You can get waterslide decal paper to print on, similar to the stuff that comes pre-printed in model kits.

Eg - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inkjet-Wate.../dp/B006DFDTF4

Freddie, you know the waterslide decals you get with model kits, you can get clear, blank waterslide decal paper. Print what you want onto it, seal it with a varnish, cut it out and soak in water etc as you do with the model kit ones.

Good morning everyone from sunny Cornwall. No plans today as of yet.

Morning all, another sunny day on the cards here but with a nice fresh north easterly breeze.
