I’ll follow along too if I may Tim.

Are virtual bar snacks also available? I’d quite like a bag of pork scratchings please :hungry:

Of course you may…..as to scratchings, now there’s something I haven’t eaten for years……they are at the end of the bar by the lager…..do you remember the ones that were so hard they could almost break your teeth…..

I'll be following Tim. It'll be interesting to compare with my WW1 ambulance.

As for Pork scratchings, I love them but like you say they break teeth, so I haven't had one in years.

Certainty will. I bet the box body on mine isn’t that much more advanced than yours Mike.

As to scratchings, I know a newer variety was brought in that were more like quavers in texture……..you could try those

Going well so far….chassis done.

No engine so it’s a bit simplified…..but then, the bonnet doesn’t open so what’s the point

One from underneath…..

The wheels are not fixed so I can get them off for painting. Of course, it has the obligatory dog on three legs issue I always get when assembling a ladder chassis from individual parts. The twist gets put in as the adhesive dries I think…..good fit otherwise, though there are a lot of ejection pin marks in hidden locations.
Next job is to look for references and build the body. I’m only adding extra detail if it’s very obviously missing or can be improved…….hence the chassis is off the peg. Nobody looks under the body once it’s built…..
cheers all
Tim

Late onto this one Tim , seems i missed the party , all the booze and pork scratchings flying about ! Mines a pint of Punk or Elvis Juice please and a couple of bags of scratchings . I’ll sit at the back and be quiet ( unless i lose a filling !)
Looks a really nice kit , just the right amount of detail , ie. Plenty where its visible but none where its not , a lot of the far eastern makers could do well to take note , all too often kits have too many parts and detail thats never seen .

You haven’t missed much so far Tony. I only started it Sunday Help yourself to refreshments…..not a Brewdog fan myself I’m afraid….

Moved on a bit…..

Cab back and load bed assembled….and filled. Look at those pin marks, 16 of them :sleeping2: . Inner sides with stretcher support done as well…..can’t put them together with the load bed until they are painted though. Spare wheel gluing up…..and stretchers ready for paint. It’s one of those where I’m not sure how much more to put together before I start painting. I’m probably going to treat it like an aircraft build……

Up and at um Tim, sorry tad late to a very interesting build! Any room in the back for me!

Up and at umbrella Tim, sorry tad late to a very interesting build! Any room in the back for me!

Always room Bob……and as it’s a virtual auditorium there is always room at the front. There is virtual beer, lager, scratchings, and anything else you need or desire……
