[Steve Jones]

Nice progress on the StuG Mr. Jones will be the Dog's Danglers when you get 'er done.....thanks for posting it on the thread.

Coming on VERY nicely Steve!!

Steve, nice fence panel. :thumb2:

I've just managed to paint in the blacks and whites over the light grey body. Just need to do the silver for rotor arms and undercarriage legs, reds for the torpedo stripes, yellows for fin tips and sonar and greens for the overhead sun glaze windows...



Cheers,
Richard

This is finally coming off the bench.......was a fun little build and saved me a bunch of coin by not having to buy a trailer.

Have I missed something Rick? When did you do the front end mate??

Great to see the year starting off with a bang and some really good builds........Love the Mercedes Dan, fiddly, but gonna be nice when finished. Rick, with his trailer has also made a fine piece to go with the 6500 towing it. That Richard makes me go blind (and him too, probably) with the helicopters in micro scale and they look really good, but I'm starting to worry about Stevie here. Most excellent work on the snowplow my friend, but when was the last time it snowed in your neck of the woods to use it??? Just wondering...................

Hi Mr. Jones.........I did a build thread on the MB 6500....it's in the Completed Softskins, just before Christmas....if you would like to check it out. The trailer was an afterthought and not part of the build thread......I worked it under "what's on the bench",......only took a couple of hours to construct. Sorry for the confusion. Rick H.

Love the scratchery Steve. Trailer looks great Rick. Choppers are brought to life Richard. That is an excellent finish on an unusual aircraft Martin.

Stil scratching away on this.


Wires for the mast were fun. Especially as my CA glue is rather old and thick. And dont stick! Added a few grab rails and bits here and there. Drilled the exhausts and put a pipe in them.... The double cone thing hanging over the bridge is supposed to be wires, quite how that can be done has failed me..... 3 times.
I might get to throw some paint at it soon...
