Will keep an eye on this, was thinking about this kit a while back, to be set in another Korean dio.

From what basic bits i saw in the box it'll be the paintwork and finishing that'll make it.

Every confidence in you sir

Hi Steve,

This looks like a nice model to make, it also looks huge, also, like Colin I shall be following this...

May I ask what did you use for the planking please...

Andy...

Hi Andy ,

I have used the wooden stirrers from a certain burger range as they were thin enough for the scale, the model measures 27cm long and 70cm wide.

Looking good and a very nice start Steve

 

[PaulTRose]

that is looking very nice indeed

ive used thin balsa strips before for a back of an old truck before

 

[mossiepilot]

Nice start Steve, and good going with the coffee stirrers. Still surprised someone isn't selling them on Evilbay at £5 a bundle for model making. People buy Klear for dopey prices, why not these LOL

Excellent job Steve....I do like the fender, was it with the kit or have you scratch built it?

I also like the 'Cool dude' lounging amongst the cargo....

Top marks all round...

Great work Steve looks fantastic. Are you leaving it like that or going on a little diorama it would look even better with some water
