Van has now gone to the great scrapyard in the sky!

Plinth Beech Added
Customer required an extra 2 inches on the basic trophy plinth. Here I have just turned the whole base concentric prior to priming and painting.
The bottom section had not seen the light of day since 1921!
| 
Plinth sprayed with primer
The base is covered in Gaffer tape because some of the Silver engraving could not be removed!
| 
Plinth sprayed with Black
First top coat of Black Enamel paint, eventually 3 coats were required. As can be seen dust was a problem!
