discussion Rick's "Cobbled" Kfz. 70 M.B. L1500

[Mini Me]

While watching Scottie's progress on his Kfz. 70 L1500 build thread, The "bug" bit and I dug into the stash for the necessary components to "cobble" one of these together. I landed on a Horch 108 from Herpa models and a Roco MB. LF 8 fire fighters vehicle. Here is what I have so far..........

I know there are slight differences in the body work......dooes etc. but I am willing to live with that and will employ the 2 foot rule where applicable......next will be the remaining body work and then will start on interior details. Rick H.

[Steve Jones]

Nice cobbling Rick. A great little project. Looking forward to seeing how it progress's

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim, I cobble better than I figger paint but I'll get there. Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Scottie, that's what I get for following your magnificent build.......I was having dreams about doing one of these little buggers. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Mr. Jones, I shall Cobble on! Rick H.

Yes Rick . " Cobble on " love the state of your box of bits, reminds me of Paul E's bench .
I shall sit near the front, will there be coffee, cakes , spare ribs ?

Thanks JR, I just sort of dumped everything together to consolidate both vehicles.......sort of keep it all under one roof I just don't know where Allen has gone off to....If he comes back I shall notify him of your request for refreshments. In the mean time just join the crowd wherever you can.
Cheers, Rick H.

I will join the rabble if I may. I really enjoy your miniscule builds.

Thanks Gerry, I'm still waiting for the glue to set on the nose....once everything is solid I can start adding the other bits and bobs. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Jim, glad you stopped by....just hope I can get a reasonable representation out of this effort.

Welcome John, always room for one more......just getting started on this. I'll post up more pics after I've made a little more progress. Thanks for dropping in, Rick H.

Great choices Rick. Excellent mating. These are two of the better efforts in 1/87. The 108 especially has some great add-on details. PaulE
