Thphantum Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Started with the donor chassis and ordered a bunch of custom resin parts to build the truck. Engine, cab, suspension, extra steering axel, and so on are some of the components you can choose. Quote

CarolsHusband Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Mini update as no time spare time for models this week, though it's s'posed to be gales & stair rods tomorrow so might get a bash at it. Did the sides of the hull, not mega happy but hoping they'll perk up a bit once all the kit is stowed and weathered. A few wheels got melted by a mystery solvent, rat piss or aliens over the decades, they're deformed & a bit soft. Gonna trim off the yuck & build it up with filler. /wondering whether I should have just bought a new kit, but it's all practice.  Quote
CarolsHusband Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Nice. Miniart do some cool unusual stuff. I s'pose i could do a mini update while I'm here. Melted wheels fixed, repaired one with plastic & then reshaped it. The other I decided to "remove" the outer wheel completely, so cut it all off bar the centre and then drilled it (with a hot pin)to look like a hub. Towards the end of the war quite a lot German vehicles were running out of spares. Reinstalled all the wheels Gonna finish it today, ran out of superglue to put the tracks on. Be good to get it done as I'd like to start to start on the Cadillac. Quote
CarolsHusband Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Right, all done. Turned into a struggle again at the end and it nearly went in the bin. I now see why I got so frustrated with the tracks years ago. You can buy separate link track sets for most of these tanks but they're sometimes more than the price of the kit. Anyway, enough whinging Pom.   Quote
CarolsHusband Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Ooh, 1/24.... Forgot abut this one, found in a box of cassette tapes at my Dads the other day. Pretty cool & rare kit, may give it a bit of a refresh for old times sake. Anyway, hopefully going to get started on the Caddy tonight. Quote

Couldn't get excited about it, partly because the way it's massive chrome trims were moulded was going to make it a twat of a job as far as decay was concerned and also because 59 is about my least favourite year for Caddys. 58's & 60's are both cool, 59's are just silly. IMHO, obvs. So.... 1/35 calls once more. Flak 36 88 mm anti-tank gun. Asked for it when I was 12, finally building it now. It's all in the planning. /pic    Quote
EpochNZ Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Not 1/24th, but I'll just leave this here....you're all rank amateurs... Â Quote
yoeddynz Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 MICRA ALERT! MICRA ALERT! 1.30min in (its a sub model k11)  EDIT. I was wrong. I was too hasty. Its not a micra A faux micra. Quote
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 ^ I shall probably womble along to that. The girls will hate it. Anyone want pics? Quote
