Hi John

We used a picture of the van i was recreating, & judged it by how many rivets along the top & did they line up with anything on the sides & the amount of strips, again using the picture. I think it seems to work ok

Yes they do go together very nicely, especially for a novice like me !!

After i made a couple up with (Rob) lancer1027's help, I tried one on my own, just got to find a picture of one i like & paint & tranfer it to finish (Thats the unpainted one on the pics previously)
