slowly making progress, the leaf springs have been removed, and the vehicle lowered, rear axle moved back, (temp) mocked up front axle moved forward. Turbos/air filters next, together with exhausts and spoilers to add :-) Although not my normal scale, quite enjoying this one :-) (Already considering my next 72nd scale 'custom job' :-)

Welcome to my world Paul! I'm enjoying this tremendously and looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Thanks Duke :-) Must admit, by the time I finish it wont be very accurate compared to the real vehicle (The 'rivet counters' would have a field day :-)

Forget the rivet counters. If it looks great, then it is great! And I know you always do awesome models!

Very nice work, indeed! The casting of the rivets is really good too.

Thanks lads, did some more work on the turbos air filter, made a mould and cast a couple off yesterday. :-)

Front axle part done, and turbos tacked on with blue tack, need to alter them a fraction to get a better fit.

Thanks Ian, its a MB Models Austin WW1 armoured car, (lovely little kit) but I just couldn't leave it on those stock puny little skinny wheels/tyres....... :-) It would be like my pickup on bmx wheels :-)

Only a slight update..... three tiny bits of plastic card to make a rear spoiler (what a fiddly job that was, currently only tacked on with a blob of blue tack) Need to turn some headlights/tail lights hopefully tommorow :-)
