E is for Extra Tin-Plate Post
Brian B sent me a shot of his - probably -
Shilling tree-hangers, so I went-off and found a cheap MC and sidecar to make a
post! It's a little one, but perfectly formed!Lovely colours; a deep lemon-yellow and a
rich tangerine orange, with sky-blue highlights. The motorcycle has a series of
thin plates running round and covering the main seam to prevent nasty cuts, as
does the passenger, and the sidecar is on the right-hand side for those who
have adopted the Napoleonic rule of the road - sword to sword, 'cos the
Europeans are always fighting!
As per his comment on one of the recent
posts here are Brian's TX507 (Bus), TX513 (Loco) & TX514 (Tram), using the
Hawkin-Tobar catalogue codes, I don't know if they extend to Roggaz's ZZ or Schilling,
but they are the same tools, same for-Germany marks and same paint-schemes. Note the eclectic stuff around them and the now finished STS Direct impish cyclopean!
