Right, If andy has pictures or anyone i would apreciate them as i have started building a fun set of wagons in 32mm. The first coach will have wallace,Gromit,Penguin and the wrong trousers on. (See pic) the next wagon will hold a painted toy tea cup and saucer and finally there will be a brake van BUT it will be made from a toy teapot painted.!

i got the idea from the wallace and gromit flatbed truck and teatly tea band wagons at amberely over the weekend! If anyone has any pics of anyting similar i would appreiate them but for now heres the figures!

Brilliant, im looking forward to this one. Just one thing, how long has Amberley had a tetley tea band, because as SLRmidge will tell you, a Tetley tea band has performed at Heversham station on the SLR for at least a couple of summers, and Ian thought that he should have the rights to them!!!!!

Dont get you but the tea band where on Wagons sat in cups and had a tea pot break van!

I allready had these figures, Wallace has been crewin my SL1 with the penguin firing it, for some time and after seeing these two wagons i wish id have taken pics!
If anybody has pics of anything similar PLEASE post em up

I have some pics, but there are stored away on pendrives becuase the laptop I use is away being fixed. By Tea band, they were little figures given away by Tetley tea a while ago when the Tetley ads featured animated characters. These figures that were given away each have a musical instrument. Put all of the figures them together and you have a tetley tea band

Heheh

You could do an "Anti-Pesto" box van, or maybe a Jacobs Cream cracker liveried van, and a refrigerated Wendsleydale cheese box van too!

Would look great, or even go the whole hog and paint up a mamod to look like the loco that features in the chase scenes in "The Wrong Trousers"

NOW that sounds like a damn good idea! but i have other character based sets on the way

On the wenslydale cheese van like alan said, you could have it lettered "Cracking Cheese"!!!

I may also add some Chicken Run Characters!

Make it an "Ardmann" Set!

Ive started painting the tea pot in the Wallace and Gromit Characterristic green! Ive also re-thought the design and shall be putting the 4 figs on each corner of the tea-Pot wagon so as cutting costs. Also i have decided to scrap the idea of a cup wagon! carrying things too far i felt! Pics when the pots done!
