Salute, one of the largest wargames events in Britain was held on Saturday at Excel London. The event attracted more than 6000 UK wargamers, military modellers and re-enactors of all ages and featured table-top wargames based on many periods in world history.

As well as table-top wargames there were re-enactors from the Zulu War, Elizabethan period and even a Lara Croft look-a-alike. There were some real military vehicles including Fox and Ferret armoured cars and remote-control model tanks in huge 1/4 and 1/6 scale. Truly these were big boys' toys!

Components awaiting painting. At the top of the picture is backplate for the handbrake. This was about the only component that had rusted so badly that it was necessary to buy new. It was decisied to remove the paint on this new spare part, and to paint it properly. Although after painting, we ended up buying a new part, which turned out to be Toyota Supra, with a small Lotus modification.
Lower down is a plate that we have made to go under the front chassis cross member, which will act as both a jacking point, and also incorporate a tow hook.
