Going the extra mile with the detailing.

I don’t know how I’ve missed this build up until now Paul. Some very nice work so far. I’ve now pulled up my chair.

[scottie3158]

Welcome mate. I have just seen your build and you have set the bar very high.

[scottie3158]

It’s got to be done Scottie!
Great detail work going on here. It will make all the difference to the finished model.

Thanks mate like most detail it will be hidden.

Paul,
Great bit of plumbing on the fuel tank buddy and those few little additions improve the door no end, excellent.

Thanks John as I said to Paul most of it wont be seen.

As usual Paul just sublime ,awe-inspiring reading looking forward to the next stage. Dave

Thanks Dave very kind of you.

Tasty stuff here Paul.

Thanks Ron happy you like it.

Excellent workmanship.

Paul, thank you mate it means a lot.

That was a nice catch up, always an education reading through one of your builds Paul. (I also have a nice supply of potential seat covers as a result of following the build!!) :thumb2: :tears-of-joy:

Doug, thanks mate trouble with these seat covers the waist gets bigger as well.

Going the extra mile with the detailing.

Jim, the main reason I do it, is it takes a bit of time so I don't spend money on kits by making them last longer :tongue-out3:

I don’t know how I’ve missed this build up until now Paul. Some very nice work so far. I’ve now pulled up my chair.

Ian, very welcome mate good to have you along.

Doug, thanks mate trouble with these seat covers the waist gets bigger as well.

A sacrifice I am prepared to make in the interest of learning new skills.
Also offset my a young dog who walks my little legs off!!!:flushed:

I have assembled the tub, but somehow managed to loose the steering column and dashboard. So I am going to have to try and make some replacements. I still have a few details to add and some decals. I will also try and personalise the interior with some clutter.











I've just noticed the side panel has moved and left a gap. i will put that right tomorrow.

Any comments always welcome.

cheers
Scottie

Scottie,
Some beautiful work going on there mate, love the weathering you have done so far to the floor pan.

[Graeme C.]

Looking good Paul, I knew you couldn't resist adding extra details!

[papa 695]

That is looking very good indeed Paul.

[Steve Ski]

I like the plumbing work, excellent!

Finally getting back to this. Now the tracks are done on the Buffalo.

This is easily one of the most complicated chassis I have ever built but that said it went together a lot easier than I thought it would.

Next stage will be to paint up this stage before further assembly.

Next is the hull base and engine firewall. The instructions call for a white interior and that is what I will go for although some of the reference pics I have seen it is silver.

finally for this update. I saw on line that Riesen toffee wrappers make a good leather finish so thought I would give it a try. I think it works plus you get to eat the sweets.

As always amazing work Paul. I really like the wiring.

[Scratchbuilder]

This model is very well detailed but I couldn't resist adding some cables and pipework

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1231427[/ATTACH]
this is the fuel tank plumbing also added a change over tap.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1231428[/ATTACH]

given the detail on this kit the battery was very basic. So I have added some cables, securing straps and the main isolator switch.

And a bit of detail to one of the doors.

cheers for looking
Scottie
