Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

Updates look Awesome Steve like Rick said stand back and take a break. Don’t get burned out on this one it looks too good to quit. Ask John Race for a cup of Yorkshire Tea seem to relax the clouded mind but I think it’s what he puts in it. Lol

Yeah.....and if that don't work we can call Matron and she'll fix you up with a "Jab" of whatever and you'll be right as rain in a day or two! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out::thumb2: Rick H.

[Lee Drennen]

Yeah take Rick for instance he’s been jab several times and he’s normal

By 'eck Lad - I've forgotten the healing properties of a Yorky brew - that'll do for sure!

Noooo, not Matron .....! Please! (Mind you her Staff Nurse is fit ..........! )

Hang in there Steve, I'm sure you will figger it out .......sometimes it's best to let it set awhile and come back to it with a fresh approach. I really like the progress you have made so far.
Cheers, Rick H.

Yup - patience is good - but sometimes 'frustration release' is better --- :tears-of-joy:

[Mini Me]

For Sure.........just don't take it out on all your hard work! :thumb2:

Thanks Gents, I have to say I'm not enjoying this; I never expected a Tamiya build but this is taking the P--- at the moment :sad-face: Maybe it's attributable to my lack of modelling skills but seriously this is beyond a joke!

A little more progress - slow due to renovations and innovations at Kate's school and a suspected case of COVID (fortunately proven negative by PCR). Managed to force the chassis squarer (at the temporary cost of minor details of course!) Same problems throughout - miniscule details, vague location marks, large ejection scars, over-engineering and lack of Sauvignon! Work progresses on the crane mounting, Man - this is going to be some battered wrecker! Some quite bizarre omissions - the under-body toolboxes have no backing plate and the rear mounted toolboxes are 'curiously' divided for example! This is a relatively big 'beasty' - I've included a figure for scale. I've decided this build isn't worth investing in resin wheels - I'll build it and bin it once I'm bored with it :angry:

Looks good to me Steve. Keep it going and she will turn out just fine. Nice paint and weathering job too!!!

Looks like you've got all four touching the ground...as others have already said, That's a fine looking Bussing, I'd love to have a plastic model of this in 1-87 scale........just not available, would have to go the 3D print route if I get desperate or the dreaded "resin"! :angry: Rick H.

Coming on very nicely Steve, despite all the problems you're having.

Keep up the good work.

Well I really like it Steve.

"What don't kill you, makes you stronger" and all that. Or at least makes you a better modeller.

Please don't bin it, the rolling stock looks fine.
