I'm also afflicted with that syndrome. I always try to make things move/turn that should.

Mini Me Rick, as requested...



Still got a fair bit to do, painting, clean up, might even throw in a figure and some weathering, :thinking:

Yes, I'm down to 72 as I've broken all my 80s & 75s. MLHS couldn't survive COVID so must rely on Micro Mark.

[Allen Dewire]

Really nice build so far Lee and I know exactly what you mean about making things work. It's actually a serious disease that I suffer from too. Of course you can't make everything work like the original, but the nervous breakdown fun is in trying to!!!.....

Lucky for me my drill bits are on supply, my wife has an account with a tool company... cheap bits here and there for me :smiling:

I doubted myself in the beginning, it's a solid mold... Panda don't want it to move but I do... bugger! What have I started?! :confounded:

Thanks Rick, it means a lot, especially with no confidence in my abilities.

[RonGlass]

Thanks Andy, yes it's a real diamond. I was pleased that mine rests nice and level, I didn't fuss while assembling the lower chassis. Not keen on the rubber kit tires mold line, am waiting for a set of resin Panzer Art replacements but wow they were pricy.

Andy

The quality of the chassis / engine sure deserves extra detailing if so desired, pity that its all hidden from the cab.

A homemade spray booth from the happy union of a cheap but sturdy cardboard box from a well known blue and yellow Scandinavian brand and what remains of my home air conditioning system which gave its last cool breathe just when it was much needed. :face-with-thermometer:

In the pic also some parts of my BV 206, a belated build I'm striving to revive. Just some test priming, for the moment, so nothing rally interesting to update that thread.
