I know, I know. Some progress, have got a bit of the actual bodywork done, and have started painting some of the fenders and lower panel work. Hopefully the wheels will go on soon and then the internal floor etc will go in. Should come together fairly quickly after that. (WW2 German next to it for scale) Of course, me being a big brained genius, I decided to get even more kits for the stash (I'm totally going a basic, no interior kit next time!), price was pretty good:

Nice work @CarolsHusband, guilt-tripping me into doing some work on my own kits. Nearly got the all the running gear on the Austin sorted. Will give an update soon.

As promised, some pics. The level of detail on the Austin is crazy, it has the rods to connect the controls up etc. Shit you're not realistically going to see.

@CarolsHusband All about trying mate, don't beat yourself up. On a similar note, I lost a tiny piece of my Austin kit, 1/35th butterfly knob sort of deal, had it in the tweezers *ping* gone forever lol - so referred to the other one to make a new one from scratch, looks average, but it's all practice at the end of the day. \Overdue for some photo updates, will make that a weekend job.

It pays to shop around, can get some ok prices online it seems. Also keep your eyes open for people selling off from their stash, can get a deal then.

Nice stuff @CarolsHusband. I've been trying to push on too, have been so slack. Last night I managed to get all the wheels and gears on for the Bren gun carrier.

Righto, local wreckers have nothing, so have bitten the bullet and got one from Tardme. Thanks for the inputs etc.

Apparently you can't replace the UJs on them, sounds like you toss the entire shaft etc, which seems fucking stupid imo. Edit: That said, I might look into that further and see if it could be done.

Hi there, Need to replace the prop shaft on my 2010 4x4 X-Trail, have been given a quote by the dealer to refurb the old one etc, or get a new OEM one from Japan, but the price was eye-watering. Trying to see if there are any local (NZ) places that sell them? I have seen a couple on Trademe, but wanted to see what other options there were (I have tried BNT and Napa and they don't do prop shafts apparently). Cheers.

I've got the decals on, but haven't braved the weathering yet. I need a plan of attack / figure out wtf to actually do. Funny, I've watched quite a few videos online etc about it, but still have no idea where to begin. \That Rommel version looks lush, might keep my eyes out for one of those.

Nice, when it says all hatches, does that include the engine bay? / in the engine included etc On the modelling front, I have made some minor headway on the Austin, have got both the steering columns and both sets of brake & clutch pedals in place. Big work project is wrapping up next week, so hopeful I will find more time to push this puppy along, as I'd really like to start one of my other ww1 toys.

sure sure.....'just a look'.....

This is some prime barry dissection here, love it.
