That looks great Rog & Dave - colour certainly makes a difference. I haven't mastered colouring yet.

That is so so good. My grand dad is the driver and I know who is stood next to the lorry. It is about 1922 in Cowley Oxford and they were setting out for Coventry. A journey that would take 3 days there and back.
Brilliant colouring thank you all.
