This is looking very good T. Even tho this is an older kit it is impressive how well it's made eh? That is Tamiya for ya. Great job you are doing.

That buggy looks awesome. makes me sad my ferret found the wheel I dropped and decided it needed to be "fixed. Good news, I have two new kits in bound to replace it ;D I can only hope my attempts turn out half as good.

 

[Bullet21]

Fantastic finish, looks darned good!

 

[TRM]

Thank you Dan!!! Making notes here now.....do not let the ferret help build any models....no matter how much he begs!!! ;D I am sure you will do great on the builds my friend!!

Thanks Bullet!!! Aaaallllmost finished!! : Should be there soon!!

OK, after running around tonight doing the kid shuffle...B-ball practice!! : I decided to toss up a couple pics of where this is.

The fig!



Now what I am thinking...simple, but effective!



Now onto some base stuff. Now I have not actually dug into anything but figured I would share something. Sometimes things present themselves when least expected. In the past I have...umm...used an award plaque for a base for another model....hey, I am not the only one ya know!! LOL!!! Anywho, my daughter remembered this and whilst at school the other day, the band director was packing up everything for a giant move to a brand new school next door and asked if anyone wanted some old contest plaques.....The good girl that she is, she brought me some!!!



These are great if you run across them at a yard sale or if a friend is tossing them out.

Pop off all the plates and decorative plastic thingies....



Voila....a nice start to a base for this one I think....did I mention it was free? LOL

Thanks for stopping by and hanging out for a bit!!

I think Santa should make sure a little something extra makes it's way into that girls stocking for Christmas, the way she remembered dear old dad like that! ;D

Nice base, something else for me to keep an eye out for and add to my hoard good work on the figure as well.

 

[TRM]

Thanks Dan!! LOL...I will have to give the big guy a call and make sure he will hook her up!!

 

[geegad]

the figure looks real good and like the base idea got some of them in the loft from my youth

 

[TRM]

Thanks!! Tis a good way to not only recycle stuff into the build, but save a ton of time cutting and routering!!

 

[Wouter]

oho, a figure now ey? Always nice to see that next to a vehicle. And cool idea for the base mate, nice one

Cheers

Great work on this. Your paint and weathering really show what can be done with an older kit

 

[TRM]

Wouts....missed the post somehow! Sorry dude! Yeah, the figure will help with perspective on this I think and aid in setting the scene!!

noc5659 - Thank you!!! Appreciate it! Never let a good deal pass!!! ANYTHING can be done with any kit!!

 

[longlance67]

SMASHING WORK,


shane

 

[TRM]

Thank you Shane!! I appreciate it!!!

All part of the master plan in clearing the bench, I need to move some past builds along! This included!!

The figure is pretty much set now. After setting, I will dirty the shoes a bit.



I also am going to down size the base a little. I am still going with the recycled plaque approach, just a smaller on to keep the focus on the truck.



So, just about time to start mixing up some ground works and get this put to bed!!

Thanks for tuning in!!!
