John,
I am saying nothing sarcastic or suppoedly funny, unlike the other commenters above - that's because they have said it all :tears-of-joy:.
But will sit in on the build.

That was donated to a very young man that made a far better job of it than I ever could and he was only 5.....

That might have been the case but you still had a Toon in your stash. Yes or No.
The Toon high council has come to a decision.

Guilty as charged.

Hey Pete, If JR gets into trouble just send over a couple of Minions and they will set him straight in no time!

You'll have to paint them 4BO or he won't let them in.

Well it seems I can leave every one to chat among-est them selves then ! :smiling:.


Back now, been a odd week first eldest daughter was in hospital unable to move hers legs, eventually rushed to Addebnbrooks for a repeat of the op she had a year ago so that was worrying, then my close friend had a heart attack which I have mentioned.
Both of them are now in their respective homes and appear to be on the mend, so a some what weird week

Right assembly has gone well taking note of the good advice from my friend Pete who sent me the model I reduced the connecting pins inside, it certainly made the assembly easier when I had to do the final fit after painting.
The tracks behaved as instructed by Pete.


This was the start of the AB problem' but I stripped it down you can see the mess the paint caused.
After washing it all off I tried again with better success.






Looks far better than it did, leaving it to dry for a day , then decals, varnish coat and some weathering ! Should be fun.

Thanks for looking in .

I hope the casualties are one the mend John. Sounds like you've had a very stressful time - the last thing you needed was trouble with the AB. However it looks as though you've got that sorted as the KV1 is looking very good indeed. Breath in, ans out, breath in.....

Looking good

Thank you.
Your right there Peter, don't you get the feeling at times you'd just like to close the door to any more stress !
Luckily the KV was done before the AB / compressor had a wobbly .:angry:
It's will work , well that's the mantra :smiling3::smiling3:.

Looking good

Thanks Si.

Gotta ask, was it the bench you washed or the model, or could that be some stray ignitable fuel that has made an appearance just in case......

No, Mike fear not, the model was washed in the kitchen !
Re the bench, this is the newly introduced cutting mat that comes ready cut, complete with paint markings.
If your ever suffered from withdrawal symptoms from ruining a brand new this is the way to go. Available to order direct from Race Towers.
Just woken up at nearly 0400, now armed with tea and toast .

Hi John
Hope your daughter and your friend continue to recover. Also hope your AB woes get sorted - you new compressor looks good - let us know how you get on with it.
Back to the build. Looking good now. That huge turret looks mad on the real thing but extra mad on a 'toon'.

Looks great fun, doing a smashing job John
