Good evening. This is turning into ground-hog day. Important point. Position and glue the 'windscreen before the bonnet. It's impossible, well unless you are very lucky, to get things lined up correctly. Note middle cab. Nearly finished.

Still here guys. Thanks for the interest still, I didn't realise this would take years. Apologies for not posting anything, but will be available for download soon. I promise. Live's rich tapestry deliverys thing we have to deal with and adapt, there isn't always the time to do the thing we...

Thanks for that RF. Nice to know I'm not being stupid (for a change)

Slightly off on a tangent with this, but I started to build the Big G for here http://jleslie48.com/bg/index.html. Very nice model, but wanted to add detailing. (I think this was my first proper attempt a paper-modelling) The problem I have is, the discs on the back are not round. I'm not sure...

Curved the 'petals', recoloured and made the barrel tighter. Just about there.

Thanks guy, as always, for your kind comments. I have said it before, but it's what makes this forum special. Sorry for the delay. Other projects and life get in the way and I need to be in the right frame of mind. Also been building a train, but more on that later. anyway we are on the...

Much delay, as usual, I've done a bit more and another step nearer completion. Hi John, thanks for the domes, but I couldn't cut them out accurately never mind doing any justice to making them, so went back to petal folding. I did use the cut out circle and domed slightly (thanks guys)...

Hell's teeth :eek: Late to the party as usual, but worth coming.

I agree with Zathros. It must be on everyone's build list. I'll pull up a chair and enjoy the show. By the way which models is this, there seems to be a few versions floating around the ether

Thanks for the help guys. I love this site for this. I'll give them a go, but may be a slight delay as I'm off the Seville for a week By the way nice changes to the site :thumb:

Morning all. Sorry no posts for a (long) while. Life gets in the way and having more than one hobby doesn't help. I promise to get my finger out and finish this. I'm currently banging my head off the wall trying to make the front gun turret. It's a dome of about 4mm diameter and I can't get...

Dark Star is a great film, but you do definitely need to adjust your brain to watch it. It does initially appear to be rubbish, but well worth persisting. The big boucing rubber thing evolved in to Alien, written by Dan O'Bannon Also John Carpenter's 1st film. Nice models, good to see some...

Ah Zathros another project. When are you going to find the time? If you ever come to the uk, bring you welder with you. I've got a 76 Jaguar in the garage that needs some work.

Could't wait, must be addicted again, that didn't take long :cry:

Off we go again folks! Started work again on the project, my hand/brain co-ordination seem a bit rusty. Been working on front cab 'light-unit'. Have also reduced the number of vent slats (might still be too many). Slight spacing problems, but easily fixed. The light at the top worked out too...
