Evenin` Scottie,(Dawg!),
Always good to have you along mate,

I'm in Mr Smith , as long as you don't throw things about and you have our friend Cohen in his winter quarters.
Love to Rach from us both .

HA!! Cheers John,!!
I`ve felt like throwing things already if i`m honest..... but refrained!!:nerd:
Cohan has reappeared from his Hibernation Cave and is back on full form again:thumb2:!!
Rach says "Hi" too!

Oh Mr. Smiff,

That's a nice kit you have there Andy. Guess I'll have to check in and make sure you don't muck it up. Looks a great build and like Paul said, a bit fiddly too. Just have fun my friend......Oh, and Happy a Ho, Ho, Ho to you guys in Devon (wherever that is)!!!

Ahhhhh......Mr.Dewire.......
It is indeed Sir,and thank you:thumb2:,
As for "Wherever Devon is"........
Simple mate........
Head out of Europe towards the UK....just before you hit the fantastic Kent coast.....
Hang a left,(Or to "PORT"),and hug the gorgeous coastline of southern England until the natural Godliness glow turns......

OK Then guys,a brief update.......
As some have said,these kits do seem to be quite problematical..... several times,already,i`ve encountered vague instructions which led to me mis gluing bits!:angry:
I did sort them,kinda,and some other bits just didn`t "Feel" right!
It really is excellently detailed,and also for the cost!!,makes you want to persevere :thumb2::anguished:.......
Pic of running gear assembly,just basically glued........

I wasn`t at all confident of this progressing any further,was SURE that stuff was going to go awry ....however,continuing with Primer,Copious amounts OD and then some Rubber tyres..... I`ve ended up with this........

Surprise surprise all wheels sit correctly:fearful:!! So up until now i seem to be getting away with it!!......
.... We`ll see though!!
Great to see so many taking an interest in this one Guys!! Thanks for looking in.....

That looks very like a rolling chassis, all the wheels touching the floor, it's got to be fine!

[scottie3158]

That's a great start mate and always a bonus to have the wheels touch down

[adt70hk]

Coming in nicely Andy!!!

Great work.

Hi Andy
Looks good. Once you get into the kit it will become easier.

The intricate bits are now mostly over, and well done for getting all the wheels on the ground

[Allen Dewire]

Looking good so far Andy and thanks so much for explaining where you reside. Don't know about the halos, as I haven't had one since I was 7 years old.........

Great to see that all 10 wheels touch the ground. It's amazing what you can do with different air pressure in the tires though, right???!!! Drive on Sir.........BTW, who won the fight (it is Boxing Day over there, isn't it???)....................................

Nice piece of work so far Mr. Smythe......sorry I'm late to the party, didn't know Boxing was allowed in the UK with all the COVID CR*P going on etc. Rick H.

Looking good but I think that the rear tow bar should fit tight into the lower chassis legs, I could be wrong of course.

Andy,
Hmmm, good point, looking at it now you could well be right!
I'll check out the instructions and ref pics when I get home
Thanks for that!
