The one I tried was about 1.5" thick. Good luck Brian C -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From: Alpaslan Ertungealp [alp_ert@mail.matav.hu] Subject: LVTP5 interior Check out www.mil-mod.nl There are some nice photos of the real thing and also others from TMs. You can leave a message in the newsgroups section as well.

Thanks Phill Smith Milton Keynes UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) From: Daniel Taylor [d-taylor@dircon.co.uk] Subject: Mike Conniford plans Some years ago Mike Conniford produced pamphlets on various soft-skin subjects under the name of Inkpen Art Productions. They have MAFVA information in the front so maybe someone has come across them that way. If possible I'd like to get hold of three of the titles - the Leyland Retriever, the Bedford OY and the AEC Matador. Any information on getting hold of these would be most appreciated. Incidentally, do any of you know whether there may be a Bedford QLR in attendance at Beltring this year? Thanks Dan Taylor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8) From: MALCOLM IRESON [ireson@carltons36.freeserve.co.uk] Subject: Thank you I would like to say a big THANK-YOU to all who wrote back to me reference my question posted last week about painting faces. I have written back personally to all, but I just wanted to say it publicly to let you all know that the "old boy" network really works. I will keep all posted as to how I'm doing (that will be something to laugh about!!!) Thanks again, Cheers, Malc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRADERS, ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICEBOARD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) From: Listmaster Subject: Posting reminder When posting to the group: First, please do not just hit the "Reply" icon and send me back the whole of the digest, as I have to wade through it all looking for your words of wisdom.

It seems to have cured itself (for now) so back in business.
