My entry for the support our troops GB....

Had to fight the urge to buy something new and instead picked this from the stash!

I’ve had a quick peek through the instructions and as is par for Miniart it has 11 million parts and is pretty comprehensive. Engine and gear box, drive shafts, diffs are all there.

Even has PE snow cleats for the rear tyres, which I may well use and set this in some snow?

My Miniart has loads of bits that will never be seen. To be honest, I don’t envy you doing a monster like that.

Cheers guys,
Great to have you all onboard for this and apologies for the distinct lack of progress.

Spare time is being eaten up with gardening jobs and having a good old tidy up of my modelling gear.

I work on the kitchen table and have my gear spread out in cupboards and boxes, so currently trying to organise things so I’m not rummaging around for stuff all the time.

Enough blah, blah.......Broke the box open last night and actually started sniping bits of the sprue!
Here’s is what is in the box....

Hope to get some bench time today in between daddy day-care and house chores etc

Looking forward to this developing Si, just don't burn yourself out with the Daddy day care and house chores

No pressure, Bro. As and when is our motto.
