" Get a little daughter...dad action going".... LOL that made me spit my Guinness out, class lyrics
That is a tiny model or a very large 2p piece either way it should look good with the camo on( The model, not the 2p piece), nice going Mike.

Regards
Mark

oh my.. I've been remiss with updates...




Camo is going on... and the chassis is built.. easy peasy so far, which doubtless means disaster is around the corner




music has gotten quite mellow.. Willard Grant Conspiracy, from Boston, Mass. My old band was meant to play support to these guys on their Irish tour many years ago.. then myself and the guitarist got a terrible dose of food-poisoning from a local chipper (if you find yourself in Limerick City DO NOT eat at the "Chicken Hut") on the eve and it did not come to pass.

I think you need a new cutting mat, Mike.

I think you need a new cutting mat, Mike.

It's looking seriously knackered, isn't it? I kind of like the "Battle Scarred" look but yeah. Time for a new one. My best friend (was) a Manager at Jessops and she looted me a really large photo-cutting mat from her store when it closed.. it's almost too nice to spoil with Tamiya tape/paint/glue

[Ian]

Just buy a small one to take your pictures on. Then you can pretend you keep it that clean while you are working.
Flak does that. He has 2 mats.

[ShaunW]

Jeez that mat has seen some action Mike, properly battle scarred that is.

I bet Flak is a lot richer than us foot soldiers and probably has two of everything - houses, cars, wives etc etc. My mat has two cutting sides so I'll turn it over once one side is knackered. There's a certain kudos attached to a proper cut up mat like Mikes.

[mightymikeD]

Flak is awesomer than us, alright.

Time:


Pictar:



I could, ostensibly, finish this little sod tonight. I'm not going to, however, because that would mean painting the wheels and I can't be *bothered* with that tonight. I hate painting wheels.

If you could build AFVs "In-Flight", I'd build more of them.

Here's NYC's Band Of Susans... contemporaries of Sonic Youth, Swans etc..and awesome.

[Ian]

You could build it in flight. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang could fly. All you'd need to do would be to scratch-build some fold out wings. Or maybe use a cut up cocktail umprella?

Busted…

[mightymikeD]

Really running out of excuses to put off painting the wheels....



Still, need to wrap this one up and go watch the shenanigans at the Blitzbauhaus.

[ShaunW]

Painting wheels can be pants Mike. Grit your teeth and paint 'em quick. Not long to the Blitzbau House.

[flakmonkey]

Painting wheels? Paint the hubs, mount the wheel on a cocktail stick, place your plentifully loaded brush carefully and spin the wheel on its stick. Works every time. I never mask wheels. Life is too short.

[mightymikeD]

Rugby got in the way for a while...

decals (oh so tiny) are drying.. nearly done here. Listening to Bill Hicks' Arizona Bay.. no link for obvious reasons.

Wheels painted (yuck).. next photos will be the completions.

[mightymikeD]

Done..


So very, very small..












13 down.. I'ma be spectator for the rest of the night.. will try and get two more in next week..

[ShaunW]

Well done Mike, number 13 in the bag, you must be well in the record books by now. That is an eyesight test it's so small!
