1947 Hobbs of Barbican Clubweight Build and many other old builds

Thanks Rik,
Very kind works. I missed your build as I wasn't active on the site then but it has made brilliant early morning reading this morning. The finished product looks great and that first pic of yours is how I really want my tape to turn out. I hope to be able to provide some similar 'chalk dust' covered pics next year.

Glad you enjoyed the rat-build thread, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and can't recommend L'Eroica enough - a great day out, I'll certainly return sometime soon!
Good luck with the rest of the build I look forward to seeing it progress, great back-story too!
