Can do u a plinth if its out of wood,what you need,

If you let us know size and choice of timber ,finish and if you want a proile edge on it....

I'll get on with it...

 

Big thanks to Scott whos making the plinth for the diorama, very much appreciated

I've pretty much finished the tools, just got the make the crew up, I started last night and now the driver is nearly done, he just needs his arms. lol

I'll get pics up on progress with them this week. Fingers crossed it all should be finished for EOM.

 

Well what can I say,
Whilst on high visability patrol, fighting crime and the fear of crime Rich took pitty on me and made me a lovely cup of tea.
I have seen the work he has put into this and it looks bloody fantastic, the time and effort this must be taking.
The tools alone, god knows how he has managed, they are that small one sneeze and they would dissapear forever.
It is going to be the dogs danglies when done
Keep up the good work Rich

 

Got some of the pit crew done tonight, heres a few pics of the "working"...









I will be bringing it to the EOM so people can see it properly before it goes up for auction.

 

That mate, really does look the part and the crew certainly do bring it to life more....... superb work...

 

Thanks Alan

The last two of the pit crew will be finished tonight so I'll post some pics up before its packed up for the EOM.

 

Well, four weeks later and its finished. Just in time for Thursdays EOM.

Heres the final pics...

















Thanks to everyone for the interest and support during this build, I hope it will bring in some decent money for the various charities the proceeds will be going to.

 

Top stuff mate, looks spot on, can appreciate all the work you have put in, as per converstion earlier I am struggling.... lol, bloody brush strokes...
When they come out with a hawkeye ill use spray paint

 

thats bloody quality mate

from someone who puts a ridiculous amount of detail into my commission work, i can 100% understand the effort thats gone into that. i only wish i had a chunk of cahs to bid on it....

 

I've now got the plinth as well, I've just got to get the plaque for it then its up for auction.

Heres the updates:




















Thanks for looking

 

We saw this at the EOM and it looked much better in the flesh.

It really is a top, top job...

 

Thanks Alan Once the plaque is done it'll be on ebay for the Auction.

 

FANTASTIC effort matey!!!

After talking to a few fellow WYIOCers and taking their advice, I've decided to put it up for auction THIS WEEKEND. I'll post the link in General Discussion once its all been set up.

 

What was the outcome to this ???

It looks fantastic, well done

 

It sold for £100.

I've been emailing the charities and not had any response Think I'm gonna have to just put it into the WYIOC Charity pot.

I can’t find much for Colin McRae, as the original account set up I think has been closed so that they can set up a brand new charitable foundation, as the desire from fans to show their appreciation is by no means diminished, and something long term is being sought!

The charities that the original donations went to are:

Bravehearts Childrens Trust
Unit 24, Lochty Estate
Almondbank
Perth, PH1 3NP

Make cheque payable to "Bravehearts Childrens Trust"

Childrens Hospice Association Scotland
CHAS has a special form for donations - http://www.chas.org.uk/files/posdfrm.pdf

Rich has a good women there... see how she jumped in with the detail to help her man out in his time of need.

He shouldn't be telling you off, he should be buying you some flowers.

 

Yeah yeah I know.

I'll sort it out - the charity I mean.
