Determined blocking w/timber the best way to secure dozer as scale chain can be a pain in the butt and would require many attach points on dozer & trailer. I've supplied 13 points for other types of load.

Looks good Paul. I like it.

Realized I never finished the Reclamation & Evacuation Section of the Automotive Platoon from the Ordinance Maintenance Battalion. Working M25 & two wreckers.

Thanks for watching guys, I have envisioned a couple M25s or an M25 & a heavy wrecker recovering a rolled over Sherman dio in the future.

Remember i said i had a poor record with biplanes....... Ive managed to maintain it lol........the enginge cowl is a rubbish fit....... I put the right wheel on the left leg and left wheel on right....... And then the top wing was skew whiff...... Grrrr

One day i will finish a biplane cos i love the look of them

So i got up this morning and for some reason got the idea in my head to do a helo..... Went out and bought one of these

Woman in model shop...... 'thats only just come in...... New reissue from airfix'

Me........ 'unfortuatly im old enough to remember doing it the first time it came out in the 70s'

A very apt description piloted by people with strangely wired brains..

This has surprised me how long its taking....... Poor fit of the two halfs didnt help..... Im at the fill sand repeat stage

[PaulTRose]

Picked this up again........ Filler and sand a lot on the fuselage........ Cockpit glass is 3 bits that sort of vaguely go together........ Now ready for some primer

[PaulTRose]

Slow progress...... Ready for decals next

Fancy something quick and easy.... So another wooden kit

[Jim R]

Looks interesting. Do you paint, varnish or leave the completed model au natural?

[PaulTRose]

I leave in natural wood but i guess you could varnish

Ihave done a merrygoround that i 'painted' using felt tips that worked a treat

[PaulTRose]

This aint going to take long lol

[PaulTRose]

And something for scale

[PaulTRose]

[PaulTRose]

And finished..... Usual unit of size comparison

This was fun

Ive got a Fokker Dridecker to do next..... Sometime....... Oh ana london double decker bus

[PaulTRose]

A little something to keep me going til i start my xmas project
