I was thinking that

I once converted a tamiya mini into an almost replica of my brothers class 1 championship winning grasstracker.... Loads of fun

 

[toto]

Had a delivery waiting for me when I came home today .....



some mini grass tufts ......



and some not so mini grass tufts .....



and a quick comparison for scale purposes.

Still awaiting some static grasses of varying sizes ..... possibly tomorrow.

cheers

Nice if somewhat challenging styling.
Had a turbo version back in the day which was a hoot to drive but had a strange fault.
At the time my girlfriend was, how to put it politely, of a statuesque build and every time she sat in the passenger seat the car went into limp mode. The Engine Control Module was bolted there and with the thin seat squats every time we went over a bump the wiring loom detached - she didn't stay around too long.
Looking forward to the build.

Pretty much rust buckets. Mines wasn't bad but had the usual front panel and arch rust

OK ..... I was awaiting this stuff coming through .....



A selection of static grasses in different guises .....



and one of these bad boys for applying it. I have a minature version of this which is meant for detailing etc but it would probably take a life time doing bigger area's so bit the bullet.

and .... I said elsewhere on another post that I would not be buying more plaster cast lintel / cill moulds ......



but I would rather take the financial hit that the extra time hit due to being limited to One of each mould .....



and another .....



and another ....



and the last one ....... for now .

cheers for now.

A couple of tamiya kits joined the stash today ..... fresh from amazon.

A Jagdpanzer Marder 1 and a M4A3E8 Sherman easy eight.

Had a quick look insidethe boxes and they look ok. Not too many intrecate parts by the look of it but I'll get a better ideaonce Igive it a proper going over with the instructions by my side.

It wasjust a quick glimpseso far as I'vejust arrived back home from up north. Maybe a picture or two to add later if there is any interest.

Cheers for now

That's a great flock tool, just remember to hold the end well away from yourself, it will give a nasty jolt
