Hi everyone
Just about sorted for Xmas with a bit of luck I should be able to get cracking on this

I'll be watching Colin. Like Polux I've always fancied having a crack at one of these

Hi guys I hope you all had a good Xmas
Bearing in mind this is a ancient kit with a couple of new sprues thrown in it is starting to show its age the chassis had some really thick mould lines and flash that I had to remove.
The truck bed sides needed quite a few pin marks filling.
The vinyl tyres look great but I can't find a way of removing them from the sprue without damaging the tread.
Still enjoying the build though

A quick update
I managed to get a coat of grey primer on before been forced to endure another large lunch.

Hi guys
Making steady progress with the lrdg build everything is now painted in its base colour and ready for glueing together.
The tyres are really bugging me I've sanded them with a nail buffing pad to take the shine off the vinyl.
