MGB658 Scratch built


Recommended Posts

Martin I'm glad you think my fumblings are getting somewhere

Cheers Dan, They have turned the light on at the end of the tunnel

Todays small update

Undercoat applied cos it's not going to be poss to reach all parts of the shell. Thwarts fixed and knees added. Bottom boards painted what I think will pass for weathered wood.

" Nice! We'll make a modeller of you yet! "

Thank you kind sir, just hope I last the twenty years required :winkgrin:

" Really nice work Kev, still not considering your own production line? "

:shutup: You and I need to have a chat over a Hob Goblin :fight:

6/24 Thanks but a bit OTT

Kev

Rubbish! I know talent when I see it :)

I keep thinking there's the makings of a little diorama in the rejects, maybe upturned with blokes painting/fettling or whatever

Nice work....but brown? Surely the RN would insist on primer, undercoat and two of white gloss... :whistle:

Don't panic Mr seadog, what your seeing as brown is dark grey undercoat. Will be 'grey'...........
