  1. Thanks for the comments Not quite for Quidditch... The ball being Heli-tele
  2. 1/72 Airfix Lynx built as the HAS.3 special fit as flown from the type 22 frigate, HMS Brave; along with a Bedford Tactical Refueller in Royal Navy Scheme. Some decals were poorly printed but overall not a bad build.
  3. Thanks for the comments. It was an enjoyable build and am glad it looks ok
  4. First time at attempted Crash Tender style bumper so know it isn't extremely accurate.
  5. Tamiya Rover 7 finished as an RAF Crash Rescue Ambulance.
  6. Hi Nige. It might be another UN beastie. Rolled, burned out and abandonned. Give myself some new skills and techniques to play with. Wing mirrors, winch and cable installed. Sand ladders strapped onto the side, and headlight lenses added.
  7. Thanks Nige! It's starting to come together quite nicely now. Glad I didn't put the whole project in the bin.
  8. Just a quick update. Starting to take shape now.
  9. Thanks Alpha Delta! Can't move for land rover bits at the moment, but relieved to have found another body to use.
  10. Take 2 is underway, and being kept well away from anything potentially warm.
  11. Thanks Nige. I'll be looking to use it as a roll over (possibly camel trophy scheme), especially as this arrived in the post today... So we are back on track but with yet another build to do!
  12. I was painting the next coat followed by drying and, unfortunately left it warm for too long. The plastic was a lot thinner than anticipated and melted rapidly. Gutted is an understatement.
  13. unfortunately it might be a while until I can update this WIP due to the following mishap... Good news, I managed to recover most of the accessories off the body shell. Bad news, have got to try and find another kit so I can continue the build.
  14. Body primed, roofrack contents painted and weathered. Slowly starting to take shape.
  15. Shading and weathering completed. Just the levers left to install. Body ready for filling, sanding and painting. Improved wing mirrors fitted.
  16. Test fitting the body. Shows just how out of alignment the front and rear wheels are! Move front wheels in or rear wheels out?
  17. Lap straps installed on rear bench seat. Interior is starting to take shape
  18. NATO Towhitch installed and basecoats going on. Note a glimpse of the widened wheels. I've also noticed that the model has offset front and rear axles so will be correcting this with spacers. Pedals have gone in, seat belt buckles are in place for the front seats, and built an 'engine block' so that you cannot see straight through the front wheel arches from one side to the other.
  19. I've widened them with spacers, and will be making a jig to put tread on once I have flattened them down a bit.
