Still plugging away,,, hands giving me big problems , but to all purposes it is just about done... few more tiny bits here and there.
Interior shot...
Door Latches,,better than wot was thar!
Had to replace the stupid rolled tube with the u-shaped piece of card stock on each end , for a real tow bar system!
..and a whole bunch more little fiddly bits that just have to be there or it won't look right!!

The one modeled here was a tank recovery vehicle. The chassis was used for many things though. Great British engineering at it's best! 
Okay, now ya done it John, my next project may just have to be my 1/35th scale Tamiya "Dragon Wagon"...The one modeled here was a tank recovery vehicle. The chassis was used for many things though. Great British engineering at it's best!

I used to build Tamiya models. I even had their huge CB750 Cafe Racer. I built every single link on the chain. They are one of the best model makers, quite expensive now. I would try to find something on EBAY, but you only live once. The Dragon Wagon is neat because you can build a tank for it when you're done. I had many of the local model shops ask me for my Dioramas to put on display. I'd get a break on prices. Unfortunately, as people went for the "Gimme now, with no effort', these hobby shops are all gone. I have a nice collection of plastic models I'd like to get too someday. I have an original in the box, unopened Renwahl Visible V-8. I built this model one. I had lubricated it with pure Silicon, and put a more powerful motor in the starter motor housing. The thing would really scream, and with the lights firing as spark plugs, it was a sight to behold. I ended giving all my models away, not anymore though, I'll pass them onto my son.

When I lost my house in Mississippik, all my finished models were given to my friends there... My Screamin 1/4 scale Vinyl Darth Vader, my fully lit 1/1400th Enterprise-D, and my fully lit !/1400th Galor class included... I will never see those kits again. I saved many boxed kits, but half of them were stolen at the storage place... I still have my "Dragon Wagon", and a clear USS Yamaguchi, and a 1/72nd XB-70, and various smaller kits in my shed...
@micahrogers I am sorry that you lost all of those models. Sadly, I know the feeling all too well. When I moved back to the US, I had to leave behind all of the models that I made there.
The one thing I have learned... Take a TON of pictures. My pics for the Millennium Falcon all have XXX for numbering... 999 pics for a build, even the MF, will be a bunch.
I even gave the stand an XX number sequence.
