Welcome to my 50th video! I can't quite believe how I've reached this point already, but I have to thank each and every one of you who have watched, liked, commented, shared and subscribed to my videos and channel. However, I've not gone all bells and whistles for this restoration. Instead, it's a fairly straightforward restoration of this truck and trailer based on a Mercedes-Benz LP-series vehicle. Both pieces were missing the distinctive orange canopies, and the tow ring fell off the trailer as I unpacked it from my eBay order, so it required a gentle fixing and retouching. Here's to another 50 videos!

Hopefully this series will track my progress and aid me becoming a better modeller. There are plenty more videos to come and I have a big selection to choose from for future restorations. Please like and subscribe to be informed of new content first.
