2011 - A Busy Year

25th December 2011 - This has been our busiest year, yet, with a majority of the work being carried out on trucks and motorcycles, some of which went on to pick up trophies at various shows throughout the Country. We are, already, booking in work for the start of 2012 and I am hoping to be able to put on displays at a few shows around the Country.

 

Arbroath Seafront Spectacular 2011

27th July 2011 - This was our second year at this Show in the towns Victoria Park. The variety of vehicles ranged from motorcycles to trucks with a dry, sunny day showing the paintwork off at its best! Many thanks to my customers who brought their vehicles for display!

 

2011 So Far...25 Years Of Colouring-In

13th March 2011 - We started the year with quite a bit of work in and the amount of work has increased including motorcycles and trucks...even a truck from down south. Also painted and muralled a Harley Crossbones for a customer in Portobello which went on to win Best Paint at the Edinburgh Motorcycle Show! After last years success at the Arbroath Seafront Spectacular we intend to put on another display of our work at this years show...especially as it will be my 25th anniversary of the business!

 

Arbroath Seafront Spectacular

1st August 2010 - We put on a display of a selection of our work at the Seafront Spectacular at Arbroaths Victoria Park. The Show included a large selection of varied vehicles, entertainment and flying displays. Our stand boasted 10 different customers vehicles including motorcycles, trikes and restored vehicles.

 

Into 2010

17th January 2010 - And another year begins with the Workshop full of jobs...2 Major bodywork jobs on a VW Camper and a Singer Gazelle. The airbrushing jobs are flowing in with motorbikes and Stock Cars making up the majority of the work. I am also painting a new business vehicle for advertising the Company and also as a towing barge for my new car transporter.

 

New Corgi Model Truck

Corgi have a truck model in their 'Hauliers Of Renown' collection. The model is 1:50 scale of a DAF XF with Curtainside trailer in the paint scheme of David Murray Transport Ltd from Carnoustie, Scotland. Bob has painted Daves trucks for many years, until recently, when vinyl took over from paint.

 

Model Truck

In 2004, Corgi Classics released a new model in their Heavy Haulage range. It is a 1:50 scale model of a Scania T Topline with a King trailer and load in the livery of Sandy Kydd, Forfar, whose full size trucks are painted by Bob. The rendering of the custom paintwork is quite good, right down to the mural on the back of the cab. With only 2600 being distributed worldwide, this model is a real collectors item.
