Scotties Humber Mk1

Another method - Duro worms, smeared with a little petroleum jelly after sticking worm to model then piece of small bore metal tubing with the end cut to a C shape to press in welds

Cheers Simon do you glue them in place before forming the texture?

Looking good Paul, the welds are nice, plenty of tips to pick up too.

Graeme, thanks fella

Hi Scottie - you can CA uncured Duro in place because of its plastic like consistency (have used this method) but it is pretty sticky until you put the petroleum jelly on it

Cheers Simon, I will give it ago.

I have done a little more. Some of the details I decided rightly or wrongly not to use the PE and scratch my own. The shovel was scraped down to reduce the thickness. Not much left on the exterior details then it will be assembling the MG mount. All comments god and bad welcomed as always.





cheers Scottie.

Hi Paul I've just stumbled into this build, very late I know, but liking what I'm seeing so I'm going to stop and watch the rest.

Ian your more than welcome mate.

The build now is basically done. The wing mirrors have been fitted. I have repositioned the bar on the left hand hull as I had it up against the front wheel arch. The wheels are just blue tacked on for the moment. The Bren gun has been assembled not much done to it apart from the muzzle has been drilled out and the solid foresight block has been removed and a new one added from scrap PE sprue. This will be painted and detailed separately. Before it gets painted I will sort out stowage.



cheers
Scottie
