Well.After agreeing to do this thing and giving the children a choice of what they wanted to do I began to panic a bit. <br />They had just returned from the cinema after watching the Wallace and Grommet Wererabbit film.Guess what they wanted.Having still not seen the film this is mainly my own (with the children's directions.) <br />The van is built with my old favourite,balsa wood.The motor is an Aristocraft. <br />The figures are plasticine.Apologies for the van being the wrong colour and having no signs.All in all it's about a day's work.I will finish it. <br />Over to the kids. <br /> <br />This was the first time the van has seen track. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/starters%20orders.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Lights on.Starters orders. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/lights%20on.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />And she's away (guess who didn't have time to detail the back ! ) <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/go.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />So far so good. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/so%20far%20so%20good.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Now introduce the plasticine and pray. <br />Off we go Grommet--- <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/introduce.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Come on old chum.Full speed ahead!.... <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/geronimo.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Come on Grommet.Watch that lean.keep it trim.... <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/watch%20that.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Oh dear Grommet.I've think I've eaten too much cheese.The balance has gone.Brace up ,steer small.... <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/oh%20dear.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Now you've done it Grommet.I don't know how I'm going to explain this to the A35 owners club.Get your foot off me cheese.............. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/oh.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Still old lad.All's well that end's well. <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/troybetts/Thomas/alls%20well.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />It nearly made it all the way round! <br />Well done Jack and TJ.
