mbdesignart Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Finally, after some battles with the paintwork the Barge is done. Overall an enjoyable build and research project and just in time for the imminent release by Italeri of the Escort Mk2 in 'that' iconic scheme.

Max Headroom Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That’s a cracker👍🏻and could easily be mistaken for the real thing. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 What a fantastic result!!! I followed the complete long way and so often I've just been speachless. But you managed each problem you had to face and made your way. I'm also looking forward to see what you will add next to create an outstanding diorama. Cheers Marco F.

mbdesignart Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments. Now what to build next....? Maybe one of these when the Italeri kit is available but with the swamp tyres fitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Congratulations Mark, it looks superb. Wel done for letting the snags get to much in the way. I was wondering if you had seen this Range Rover scheme... Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Fabulous result Mark. Thanks for sharing. 👍 Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Belbin Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 A bit late to the finishing party on this - it looks fabulous and look forward to seeing its load. Any ideas on what trailer (if you intend it to be towing said load) you’ll be using? Or is that another project? Telford this year? 🤔 Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Nick, Thanks but I don't think I'll be adding a trailer or load, moving on to other projects. However, a trailer should be plain sailing to make from bits of plastic rod etc., although something special may be appearing soon😉 Telfod is a maybe either sharing the end of a table or this could appear on the Beyond the Box SIG table, Mr Allen's permission willing. Hope to see you there? Edited August 21, 2018 by mbdesignart more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 That is superb! Need to go read that WIP now. Lovely job and look forward to seeing that at Telford. ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
