Hi, I started this on MM, but lost the mojo for it, so as a new start on here, I'll drag it off the shelf and attempt to rebuild it. This how it was..View attachment 297930

It has then been stripped of it's current paint and primed, some parts have been lost and some unusable, parts of the kit are bad and will have to be hidden .
So with a new mojo, we'll see if we can get her some life back.
Cheers

I'm in too Brad,
I have a few shelf queens that need the same treatment. I'm sure you'll work some magic on her so she'll look all new! Keep Mojovated!!!

Cheers Allen,
will restart again tonight, just trying some moulding and casting for the first time at the moment, making a right old hash and mess, lol, I hope it has a decent revival, it really is in a bad state. Thanks for Mojovation :thumb2::smiling: ..Bis spater

Brad, I bet getting your mates rescued from the 'Oggin helped get your mojo back too!:tongue-out3:

Nice project. I'm starting something similar soon.

JIm, Pete and Rescuer Ron, thanks or support, mojo not quite full, but need to get on and do it, if goes reasonably well I have a Tiger, King Tiger, sdkfz7/1; universal carrier , quad and many more that could try and be saved. Good luck on yours Ron, Pete thanks again for your previous input. Jim keep pushing me, ... Wish work didn't get in the way, time to clear the latex way , ahem.. not what your thinking gentlermen... Cheers

Just a bit of a test, part paint, nothing fixed at the moment, not happy with it, it's in such a state, may have to be re-dipped again, but the plastic is so weak, loads of filling and rubbing down will be required. sound's like me ....and the details are losing clarity, still sounds like me... if not lot lost already, definitely me, any ideas please, or is this a lost cause? cheers.
Last photo is some of the things to do..
