richellis Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi, Made a start on my next build, I had to wait for the Stobarts to dry for a bit so grabed the saw and hacked a Mini up!

Lots of sanding and filling to get the extensions to shape now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Cor, it's gone mini mad in here! This should be damn good, can't wait to see more progress. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I seem to remember this was a conversion in an ancient Airfix magazine. Late sixties maybe? I think I had a go at it back then. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Would love to see a copy of that if you have it! Im looking for some smaller Airfix Minis for some other conversions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I love Mini's Rich, had 3 (a '78, '96 & '90 reg) in my time. This is superb.. I've got a few Tamiya Mini's in the stash and their 1/12th one somewhere up in my dad's loft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks, I spent hours filling and sanding to get a smooth join, only to bang some primer on and admire the lumps and bumps in my filler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
