This was posted a day later than normal. Sorry to my regular viewers but my lifestyle does sometimes make it difficult for me to stick to a rigid schedule. Anyway, it is here now, for you all to watch and, hopefully, enjoy. This model required a 3D printed part as well as homemade decals to make it look good again. I am very happy with the overall end result. As I have said before, there is no such thing as a perfect restoration, but I am very proud of this one. This model will now be placed in amongst my other restored models and will be one that I will often look at and say "That came close!". Please 'comment' and 'like' if you are happy with the end result. Thanks again for watching and sticking around! You guys are just the best!! Marty.

Another Great job Marty! This van had killer sliding doors both sides. They'd leave them open to jump in and out, plus throw the bundles of newspapers out. Stopping at the lights the doors would slam shut from over use. Watch your fingers.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s I spent my early teens at a local farm where the farmer had one of those old Bedford news vans as a farm truck. It was knackered then and rotten through and through but still started first time and as a kid then I remember sitting in the passenger seat watching the front wheel go round through the hole in the floor. That van never went on the road but was a godsend moving stuff around the farm. We as kids repainted it battleship grey using emulsion paint and any old brushes we could find. Not a good job and the farmer wasn't best pleased, especially after it rained. It looked a right mess. Oh they were happy days. Great job Marty and thanks for the memory it invoked.

Again, I'm amazed at what and how you do what you do! Its always a treat to watch one of your videos as they are consistently informative and entertaining. Your production values are ever expanding, and most impressive - kudos to your filming and editing staff. My design background will not allow me to leave without mentioning that I am impressed with the manner in which (I assume) Julie has integrated the display of your collection into the decor. So many times a collection either takes over a room or looks sloppy and much too prominent. Your collection is well displayed and gives the impression of having been part of the scheme from the start. Kudos to the decorator - and to those who manage to make a home around the interests of each other.

I drove a news truck in the early '70's. Similar signage in this hemisphere. The angle of the roof sign is so more folks can read it at the same time. It's called the angle of approach. The geometry is the same used by submarines to fire a torpedo. Great Job. Narragansett Bay.

I wonder if the orientation of the sign was dependent upon the locale being left-hand or right-hand drive. Seems like it would make a difference.
