No wagon left behind, mate.

I managed to do the lettering on this this week. It was a very old Powsides transfer I hoovered up on Ebay - in two parts, the white lettering and black shading on different sheets. I've learned to deal with Powsides transfers over the years; though I still hate them, there's not much better for getting right into the contours of wagon bodywork. I had a small tussle with the 'I' of Ipswich, which decided it would rather be on my finger than the wagon, but otherwise it'll be a bit of a shame to weather it.

I once asked a girl named Melanie out, fancied my chances but she poked me in the eye.

That might still have been mildly enjoyable...

I'm sure there are establishments in most major cities where you'd pay handsomely for that kind of treatment.
