ALWAYS wanted to do one of these!!

Andy,
I made the M20 Scout car a few years ago - typical Tamiya went together with a minimum of fuss & well detailed - You have a driver & a bloke with binoculars, but the open top of the M20 looked bare - so figures from the spares box had to be added. A lot of contemporary 'action photos' show the M8 with a lot of external stowage, so the ration boxes might be handy, but wouldn't they be covered with a tarp.?

Sorry all... This one has just gone into the bin!!
Spent quite some time adding bits from the spares box, due to the kit having some bits missing,that went well :smiling3:....
But,(and I REALLY should check eBay purchases more,guess I think everyone's honest!!),it was annoying, but I cracked on
BUT,it got silly... Basically,I just got disallusioned.... Enough's enough sometimes....
A real shame,but that's it BYE BYE Greyhound.... !

What's up next then?

Hi Mick, not sure really,...
... I've got a few that I've wanted to do for a while mate
Suffice to say I'm a bit disallusioned at the mo..... Got quite excited about the Greyhound,but wasn't meant to be!
I'll make a decision in the next day or so.... As I need to do something in 1/35 alongside the planes I'm doing
VERY DISAPPOINTED,but hey.....
..... First world problems eh?!

That's a shame. :disappointed2:

Definitely no point just building some thing because..... take a wander round your warehouse and see what happens :smiling5: :hungry:

[Lee Drennen]

Maybe the HalfTrack GB will happen and you can build a 1/35 Halftrack. I was looking forward to this one Andy.

Gotta admit I was too Lee....
But I did try and combat several issues before I thought ", Enough's enough"

Sometimes you have to let builds go. It’s ashamed people don’t care on Sleezbay anymore

Just waiting for this to get going, and it’s all over :disappointed2:
Obviously no point in carrying on with something that gives more frustration than pleasure, but what was the issue mate?

That's the gamble with ebay purchases - some you win, some you lose - my luck has been quite good of late, which probably means that soon . I'm going to pay well above the odds for a real dog ( ...missing it's tail, a leg and one eye! ) . Ebay?, well, caveat emptor, due diligence etc - I very rarely buy anything from a new seller, they have to have some track record. And if I see 'vintage' or 'rare' I automatically go into cynical mode!

[Tim Marlow]

I’m a bit cynical with those sort of terms as well Dave. To me, Vintage just means old, and rare means you’ll be unlucky to find another one as bad as this mate!

Hi Tim,
The poly caps for the wheels were missing,a lot of the "rods", transmission type bits were ,broken/AWOL and the plate that goes into the main body has vanished...... started sort one problem,then discovered another...
.... In the end "Sod it, this is more hassle than fun"!!
Nevermind,first fail in YEARS,so put it down to experience!

Too many to be bothered with Chris!!
It is rare that it happens as you say,so I'll just forget it and move on
