[Guest]

I have just caught up with this Graham it looks an interesting little kit. Looks like you are licking it into shape rather nicely.

 I will start a new thread for that one but I leave you with drying paint.....

So we're supposed to watch some paint drying in a picture? It would have been so much better as a video! xD

Good solid build skills going on here (fit issues sorted etc).


This van is starting to take shape. It's funny since seeing this kit I literally see these vans everywhere now.


Great stuff so far

It can be arranged Dave.  It would be a good follow up to my blockbuster 'Watching grass grow'

Trust me Paul, there isn't much skill going on.  I have stopped building for the technical side, I now only build for the sheer fun of it.  9_9

What a lovely van Graham, cracking work so far mate.

Cheers guys.  Slight hitch today.  Got the cab fitted out and glued the front and doors on only to find later that the roof doesn't fit.  I think I have got the front too high, although it appears to be where it should be.  So I will have to trim a mm or two off the top of the windscreen panel.  [COLOR=rgb(34,34,34)]C'est la vie!  Will wait until I am in the mood or I will Cock it up lol[/COLOR]

Great topic, never seen one in America (just on Wheeler Dealers!). I also dislike that unnecessary use of clear plastic.

Crisis over, a slice off the top of the windscreen panel and the roof is on.  Monday should see this back in the spray booth for the ivory paint 9_9

Nice fix with the front Graham, looking forward to the paint and weathering going on.

No weathering going into this one Ian.  In fact, my weathering days may well be behind me now.  Never was much good at it anyway  9_9


Ok, not a lot of progress but yesterday I sprayed the ivory and today I have masked up and sprayed the crimson so it has been put aside now until tomorrow before I can do anything else. Corrugated panels are a real pain to mask up.........

Nice and clean it is then Graham, and it's looking very snazzy in its colours.

Looks great Graham. And I can see that masking that body work isn't the easiest of tasks!


Cheers
