Managed to get the lower hull together today. I'm not going to be too anal about cleaning up the suspension as this will mostly be covered in mud. A bit of cleaning up on some other parts but nothing extreme.

nice start on this one,Shaun,


I'm working on the Academy one,at the moment,which I think will be much the same,


all good and no problems until the front brackets that hold,the rail for the skirt,


just dose not work,its out of line,


what I would do is use the two,back ones on the front,

Thaks for taking an interest guys. I will say I am just finding my way back into the hobby with just one kit under my belt please don't expect too much.

I have a feeling I will enjoy this. Going to take my time and stop building when I get tired, rather than trying to push through the night to finish quickly.

Good start, i'll be watching, cheers

Thanks. Looks a cracking kit. Hope I can do it justice.

Nice start Shaun

Thanks. Fingers crossed it carries on going this well.

so very true that's when you standup and walk away you only make mistakes,

AHHH..young grasshopper, let an old hand give you a bit of advice, take your good time about it, enjoy the build, don't fuss about getting something out, we can wait.


It will take time to gather your own particular style and skills. All here are willing to help with any tips we can give, don't be afraid to ask............Jim

I'm very interested to see how this one builds up. I want to do a P4, but I'm more inclined to a Dragon kit.


If the Tamiya one is decent maybe I'll save some cash!

 

[Guest]

Will be watching this Shaun.


And enjoy what you do.
