    What next?

    My HMS Spiraea has stalled for the moment ( but will return ) & the Horch will be finished shortly, so my thoughts have turned to what next?
    I'm enjoying the Revell ( ICM ) Horch, so I decided to stick with ICM & 1/35.
    All of these were ebay bargain purchases, which gives me a nice warm feeling already

    I must admit the six wheel truck is missing the printed outer sleeve, and is just in the normal anonymous white ICM inner box.
    All 3 are unstarted, and I must say, that if I had the room, I'd have all 3 on the go at once!
    I'm going to leave this open until the Weekend.........................
    Which one would you like to see me blog? - and any particular reason?

    Hi Dave
    I would enjoy seeing what you can do with the WW1 Liberty lorry.

        I think the Liberty as well. Not a common subject.

            Hi Dave would like to see the liberty done at some point as I was the thinking of adding it to my stash, but on this occasion I'd say the fire truck as it's something a bit different.

              Dave,
              Model T for me, love the colour - I thought you could have any colour provided it was black!

                  I'd take on the Soviet truck if it were me, but it's quite usual for me to be completely out of step with everyone else so perhaps you should take that into account and do one of the other two.

                  Cheers ...

                    As it stands:
                    Fire Truck 4
                    Liberty 2
                    6 Wheeler 1

                    I'll leave the decision open until Saturday pm...................

                        Liberty Truck with three colour camo scheme. It would look awesome

                          Hmmm - don't think I've actually seen a photo of the Liberty in anything other than the basic colour, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

                          edit - a quick bit of research finds that the series 2 never made it to France! The series 1 had electric lighting, and to simplify, it was removed for the series 2.

                            Hi Dave

                            When I did my research on my Holt 75 Artillery Tractor I found the Landships website a great help. However here is the link which will be of help to you U.S. Three tone colour scheme. If you go near to the bottom of the page you will see the pictures of the T ford. I found the scheme easy to apply to the model as the thick black line between the colours hid any mistakes. Let me know what you think.

                              Dave,
                              I built the Liberty truck a while ago it's a nice kit so would be interesting to see your take on it.
