Simon. As always outstanding work I’m liking the updates your doing. We all can learn by your examples

[JR]

We certainly can Lee, it's just putting it into practice that I find hard !

More exceedingly good cakes Mr Kippling modeling Mr T.:smiling3:

[SimonT]

Jim - thanks

Rick, Paul, Andy, Scottie, Lee - thank you all

John - not too good with cakes but I do bake a pretty good loaf


A bit more progress.....



tweaked the Notek slightly and fitted it to the etch bracket

rear view mirror added to width indicator (how long before I knock them off I wonder)


front jerrycans added along with the etch strap, which proved to be a bit of a nightmare

will try and tidy the excess CA - the unruly strap was going everywhere, except where I wanted it to, spreading the CA about


for the front right wing I created a jerrycan rack from bits of brass strip cut from the etch fret with the number squares cut off

this is based on one of the reference photos




mudguards added front and rear

Morning Simon,this just gets better with each update. That mudflap, raised lines done with biro type tool ?

[SimonT]

Morning John - no, etched like that. Doubt it would have been so neat if I'd had to emboss it myself

[JR]

That's shatered my impression,thought you had made that ! Cheat :smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:

[SimonT]

:sad-face: sorry, I did say it wasn't very amazing

[Neil Merryweather]

More awesomeness, Mr T!

[tr1ckey66]

Very well done with the PE and other details. This armoured car will be very impressive when complete.
Quality work
Cheers

Looking good Mr T. That strap :confounded: How come occasionally pieces of etch refused to behave. You can stick half a dozen pieces neatly first time and then number half dozen and one doesn't stick, sticks crookedly or sticks to your fingers or the tweezers. Ten minutes spent scraping the dried CA from the model and the etch and you take a deep breathe and try again. More often than not it just goes wrong again! I feel almost certain that it is the Etch Gremlin - a close relative of the Carpet Monster.
It's reassuring though to know that even someone of your experience has the same problems as us lesser mortals :smiling:
Nice touch to slightly bend the mud flap.
Jim
