This dio is now complete. I built a wheelchair from brass and tin foil and added Grandad to it.I used him and the mother to get the right dimensions for height of handles and width and height of chair.

When all the components were put together the story realy came together of it being a familly holiday with grandad telling his story,s of his encounters in Normandy and how his mates and him took this pillbox when he wasnt much older than his eldest grandson.
