Ditto! Some excellent builds. -
I love the effect on that exhaust. The great thing about this GB is all the tips and tricks that are being shared, and it's still early days.

Good progress, with some nice effects created.

I'm bounding along with this, and it won't be long before I start painting. I've had plenty of time today to get more done in between watching the F1 (the red arrows pass almost over our house on their approach to Silverstone, so we nipped out to watch them zoom past). I've built the truck bed, installed the firewall and wheel wells in the engine bay, plus prepped the cab interior parts. I also took my first 'entropy' step by cutting some chunks out of the bed so it looks like the wood has rotted around the edges. I was wary at first but then decided to just go for it, and if I muck anything up it can become part of the build or can be covered up somehow.

That's looking great. The powder is something I'm not familiar with, and it is creating a very effective finish.

I snuck in a little extra session this evening and prepped the wheels, plus the engine block and parts. Chrome hub caps are included but I'll be leaving those off. The various engine parts are different colours to the block, so I'll paint them separately before assembly. The detail is fairly good on these parts, but being white it doesn't show up that well in the pictures. This has started very well (famous last words!).

That would be good, along with 3D printed Clarkson, Hammond and May.

I like it. It seems a shame to defile an MG or an Aston, but I would be quite happy to see those other British 'classics' rotting away.

Just back from a week's holiday so it's time to make a start, and first up is the chassis. The main frame is one part, and to that I've added the springs, shocks, axles and a few other parts, and it's pretty much done.

Great stuff. The crew may have gone mad, but at least they could watch Sky Sports!
-
Mmm, a tasty recipe!
-
That's a good start. 👍
-
Ah, MiniArt, breakages and pingers. I know that trio well enough!
-
Very interesting. I like the fact it has some natural entropy already.
-
Nice outhouse, and good to see Starbucks has some practical use. Re flat tyres, I put a little guide in my build for rubber tyres. I haven't tried the method before, but I'm going to give it a go. For plastic tyres you could cut away the bottom part then use filler to create a bulging flat area.

Ford 6, in the weeds, maybe some chickens too...
Trevor L replied to John Masters's topic in The Entropy GB
Nice start on the door, and the chickens will be a nice addition! -
They certainly seem to just keep going. I've seen videos of old trucks and cars that have been left for decades, and with a bit of tinkering they're driving down the highway again.
-
I have found a brief picture guide, which shows part of the inner tyre removed then flattened out. If it fails then I'll make it tyre-less and pretend they have been removed!
-
It stands for photo etch, as in the metal parts that come with some models.

That's an interesting setting. It's unusual, but who wouldn't like an aircraft in their garden!?

another great subject.

A great image to base the build on.

GASO.LINE 1/48 GMC DUKW -- Finished
Trevor L replied to dnl42's topic in TLC - Transports, Loaders and Carriers
Great job. Completing four is impressive, especially when they all look that good. -
This GB is all about the rot, but first I have to build a kit so here's what's in the box. There is a one piece cab and front section Various bits of white plastic Some rubber whitewall tyres, plus clear and coloured parts And some shiny chrome I've never built an AMT kit before but on first inspection it looks quite clean, with only a little bit of flash. We'll see how it goes together once I get started.
