Looking good.
Flory Models is a new one on me. Just had a quick look at their website, and they've got a few videos that I'll take a longer look at.

I just use the can easy on the button and keep a good distance from the model.
As Vidal Sassoon once said.

Looks good. I heard one of those engines up close at the weekend, and my God they're loud!

This is a good read, for sure, and an epic adventure in plastic.
Everyone on the GB is developing new skills and a new way of seeing and doing things and I'm loving the results you're achieving on this 😇
Torn masking tape on the upholstery...... Boom!
I think you can own that one, Trevor 👌Hope you get the tyres sorted
Thanks Rob. I've certainly learnt a lot during this build. Not everything has worked, but I've usually been able to backtrack or cover it up.
I still haven't figured the tyres out, but I will...

They look fine to me. If you peeled the outer parts off the heads I reckon the skulls would be about that size.

Mate can't wait to see this, freaky enough I have a similar idea for a rufe float plane thats next on the bench after the Stug.
An interesting idea, but is it still a float plane if it's sunk?🤔

I would be interested in this one, so please put me down for it.

Great build, and some nice little details to finish it off.

Great job. I like the dusty pics in the gallery, but I think you could have got away with it being a showroom car with the above finish (apart from the flat tyres of course).

Great job on the tyres, especially with the limited time of this GB.

@Trevor L Have you already tried out the tyre flattening thing? I think I'm going to try it out for the Blitz Build Beetle.
I tried it and it didn't work for me, but don't let that stop you!
My cutting was a bit clumsy, so as long as you're careful with that it should go ok.
I haven't figured out how I'm going to resolve it yet.
I'm following your Beetle build and was hoping you had another method in mind that I could 'borrow'. 😋

This week I have been adding rust to the bodywork.
I started with some large patches, with some light rust colour first, then mixed some powder into a darker shade and stippled that over the top.
I repeated the same process for some smaller patches, then added some rust streaks in various areas.
A few other bits and pieces have also been completed, and this is how it's looking
I've still got a few things to do, and a bit of touching up, but I think I'm on the home straight now.

That's looking great. The overall build is impressive, and now some nice details are being added.

Yep, that's looking good. Nice progress.

It's all coming together very nicely.
I've gone for the rust on top of the paint option, but I think I'll have a go at this chipping lark at some point in the future.
After all, who doesn't like chips!?

The red wheels look fine. You've got the blue contrast on the body, so all looks good to me.
Nice work on the accessories too.

Update time, and this week I hit a bit of a snag which has slowed me down.
I fitted the truck bed to the chassis which was fine, but when I tried to fit the cab it wouldn't sit flat. When I pushed the front down the back popped up, and vice versa.
After a bit of inspection I noticed the front of the chassis was crooked, hence the fit issue.
I tried some subtle adjustments which didn't work, so got progressively aggressive with it until I got it on.
It's still not completely flush, but as good as I can get it.
It's not too obvious, and with this build a bit of wonkyness can be acceptable.
Despite adding plenty of white to the blue body colour it still looked too bright and clean, so I've now dry brushed a dark brown over it to tone it down and make it look grubby. I don't quite like the look of it at the moment, but it's just a base over which there will be lots of rust etc, so hopefully it will come together in the end.
Here's how it's looking at present
I've also finished the side boards this week.
After applying the decals I sprayed light brown and light grey filters over them to blend them in and make them look faded, then used the same colours plus a bit of dark grey for some highlights

Nice work on the bent wheel and chain. Must have been tricky with that thin pe.

Still no negative ion generator so my static grass is still static, just not the right kind, sigh.
But on a plus note my new electrics for my bass guitar arrived and I’ve also bought a bargain second hand 3D printer, which I should get next week….
Maybe you could 3D print an ion generator, or agitate the grass with some rumbling low bass.
