Thanks,Gents.

This will be an OOB build. Nothing fancy. The only variable will be the amount of weathering She gets. I'm leaning towards very lightly.

Box dumped and a small start.

That's it for now.

If you can keep your Head while all around you are losing theirs....
Maybe you've underestimated the situation.

Thanks all.

So a bit more this morning.

Lower Hull assembled.

Added kit supplied weight for that "realistic feel"

And a couple of Sprockets. As you can see,the detail is very good.

TTFN.

Thank you,Gents. Yup, the table cloth is still hanging in there.

So are the chairs.

Surging ahead,I've got the wheels cut,trimmed and sanded.

Next up is wheels on a stick. Hope you're hungry.

Peace out.

Thanks,Lads.

Steve,same here. I'm lucky though the deck is covered.

So an early evening or late night snack depending where you are,globally.

I'll have to wait on paint for a bit due to weather . Hot and heavy here.

See ya.
