well I made the mistake of going back to the model T this morning, and despite my complaining about the poor castings & excess flash, once I got it cleaned up a bit its become an addictive little kit,
and I got a bit carried away, the wife's had me reported as a missing person!!!!!..... as the mechanics and the colour scheme is fairly basic, I have been able to crack on very well with the kit. Most of the paintings been done.
So hopefully in the morning we will get a start to get it assembled, if i'm allowed back into the workshop.

and the model T, possibly the easiest left hand drive conversion in the history of model making
enough for now
regards Ian
As I have said before, the model T is becoming a bit addictive, much of the assembly has been done today
Just need windowscreen, roof canope and lamps to go on now
The kit came with a driver figure, but as we know, ebay purchases can have some problems, our driver has a bit of a disability !!!!!!.........
I've never done any figure modelling before so I thought he might be a good project to start on. I have decided to try and pose him standing next to the car.I
Firstly I cut away from the waist, remodelled the arms and gave him a long trenchcoat. He has had a light coat of primer and has been set aside to dry. Tomorrow I will model his hands and legs with more milliput.
Thats me for tonight, I'm off to do some research on figure painting from our millitary modelling friends
Thanks for now
Cheers Ian
not much work done to the model T, but I have made a display stand for it. an old picture frame, painted white, with a ceiling tile cut to size, painted and inserted. A backdrop was produced by finding a 1912 ford logo, printing onto photocard, then mounted on plasticard ~ a really pleasing result.
How it may look when finished
The 'T' just needs its lamps & roof , and the figure painted, so its getting close to finished.
Regards
Ian
