Same reason as a three day old takeaway remnant fails the sniff-test and is consigned to the Council Hades!

? Because the model is a breeding ground for botulinum?

Or some other anti-social disease such as 'Ican'tbearsedism' Tim ...!

Hats off to you for attempting such a beast. I wouldn't even know where to start......

Well at least its allowed to stay in the house !
That bridge layer is even bigger than I remember.

It's all in the soil, don't you know, that and plenty of cow.....

Hi Mike
Coming together nicely.

..... build an extension out back :smiling2:
Jim

I would try that Jim, but she said there was to be no floor - wonder why.....:thinking:

Neither did I, the lid came off and went back on a few times.....

Update,
So still working on the chassis although there is now paint on it (pics later).
But progress has been made.

I added the suspension locations and made up one of the wheel hubs as a test run...

This is a closer view, these can be added before priming, but I wanted to see how they actually attached and worked...

The suspension rods themselves actually click onto the fittings as seen here, with the wheel hub fitting onto the outer side of the arm....

Test view 1

Test view 2 - they both steer and articulate up and down when fitted - and to be honest the build in this area was getting a bit busy, so went for the seperate items to be constructed later....

And here are all of the suspension arms ready for priming, there are actually four different types of arm, but the instructions are very clear - but you must remember that you are constructing the suspension upside down!!!
As I said the paint is now on the whole chassis and engine, a gloss coat has been added and once totally dry then the weathering will begin in this department. So far now up to page 7 of 13 on the chassis build up....
Chers,
Mike.

Hi Mike
That's a very intricate way of going about things but it certainly looks good. I suppose that you'll have to glue some parts solid to prevent it being too fragile.

Looks like you are having fun with that mate. It is certainly a nicely detailed kit.

[grumpa]

That is a kit and a half Mike, enjoy building it and I will enjoy watching it all come together.
Jim.

[boatman]

YES IM watching too as i love complex kits like this an would build one if i had the time off from my tiger

[Tim Marlow]

Fantastic detail straight out of the box. I love the way all the small assemblies build onto the whole, adding to the complexity all the time.

Jim,
From the reviews it is supposed to be fairly robust, but once it is on a base it will be glue into place both the suspension and the base.

True, so far if I pay attention to the instructions I have managed to stay out of trouble - now the decorating of the hall and stairs I have to start next week.......

You are welcome.
