Man that is awesome......I love it when a plan comes together like this, it shows you to be a dedicated modeler and you won't let something like no kit available, keep you from building what you want. :thumb2: :thumb2: Rick H.

Tis good Paul agree with Rick , you just persevere.

 

[minitnkr]

More progress.

Paul,
Looking very good so far mate.

 

[minitnkr]

Tanks Scottie. It's starting to look like a self caricature (ala toon) in my eyes. Prolly a sign I'm spending too much time on it. I think I would use the longer wheelbase chassis if I did another one.

I don't think there's much difference......I'm sure it's less than a scale foot anyway. Yours looks very good so don't fret over it, should be the Bomb when you git 'er gone. :thumb2:

Some more added details.

This is making me forget the scale of these - I'm having to keep checking the title!

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Yes Rick, they swing & extend, and the winch roller rolls.

 

[Mini Me]

Amazing work there! :thumb2:

Hi Paul
That's really looking the part. You certainly have a way with this small scale stuff. Should be done for Christmas Day/your birthday :hungry: :thumb2:
