That's a CB radio on the dash

Stupid me, it's the police radio, like where you put out an APB an' stuff! 

 

And a curly wire for the magnetic light on the roof??

Goodness; I think it's quite sad to see them both looking so old!

More sad is the fact that we have grown older too !!

Hey guys! Blink and a week goes by. 😬

I really need to catch up with BM and modeling in general. I have had so much on of late it’s been impossible. Most if not all of my time has alternated between work and my youngests appeal to get into the same Secondary school as my eldest. Bloody nightmare I’m not lying. But as with a things you deal with it and move on. ☺️ The appeal is in and it’s int the wind. 🤞

As for the S and H mobile not a lot really I did a little just after my last post but didn’t add anything here. So here what did get done. Better than nowt eh. 🤹‍♂️

 

The Steering wheel got glued on. Looks good together.

I added a semi gloss coat and glued the inner assembly together.

33720416648_1ee79fdc8d_b.jpg33720417858_0c1bacc506_b.jpg

looking nice. I really will try and get to the bench today. 🤓

Some silly pin marks got filled on the bonnet.

And a prime coat went on.

33720418178_16c5b17a87_b.jpg46681801475_f979beb471_b.jpg

shiny when wet. 😻

The wheels will need to be not so shiny metal sooooo

47544403622_ec33c76e57_b.jpg

these got a coat of primer too.

47597459091_b4fc70f1b7_b.jpg

The tires got cleaned up.

46681800175_9182951e9a_b.jpg

Not sure where I sit with actual rubber tyres but these seem nice.

i also added a pipe that I’d missed off on the engine.

46873309104_d1a0f2634c_b.jpg

and that’s yer lot. Fingers crossed I’ll get to the bench today. I have a few chores, the 1:1 scale van has an intermittent side door locking problem and the hens need cleaning but that shouldn’t take too long.

My Friend at work gave me a stash double for my birthday yesterday. One of those CrAzY Japanese Mech things. I’ll post a pic later. Very strange but wonderful too. 

hope you all are having a great week/ weekend. Have fun and as always happy modeling.

 

Johnny.

I'd love to see the look on the hen's face if you did!

Stunning progress so far Johnny. Simply stunning.

 

I do remember cleaning the hen house for my grand parents some 55 years or so ago.  Approximately 200 hens and the barter system was in full bloom. My grandma had enough hens that laid eggs to support most of the village of Indian Lake New York in the 50's and early 60's. Good times and simpler times.

Looks very nice Johnny, great stuff :) 

Welcome back!

Thank Ced. It’s nice to NOT be thinking about important stuff. If there’s one thing I love about this hobby it’s the gay abandon.🤩

Looking good Johnny!

Btw how do you clean a hen? I assume you don't just throw them in a shower with a bar of soap....😂

Thanks Ron. That’s a lot of hens. 😮 I have Three. 😻

I have managed to get to the bench this morning. 😛 I’ll post up later. X

Good afternoon you lot. Cooking dinner I have 20 mins to post up while the roasties   Cook . 😛

 

As promised here is the Gundam my bud gave me for my birthday last week.

46882697224_465a879e9b_b.jpg

if you think that’s mad you should see the instructions. 😮

32664428107_4c270d62e8_b.jpg

a whole heap of crazy. Not sure when I’ll get around to it 🙃

Anyhoo the Ford!

The innerds got sprayed rubber black with some grey for good measure.

32664426717_4aa53e4511_b.jpg

 I then did a little pre shade. Not sure if this will work but in for a penny. Remember the gay abandon. 

47553822022_d11a3b18e1_b.jpg46882694434_4a0762146a_b.jpg

And the bonnet.

46691135845_ce5308f436_b.jpg

Slight reservations about doing this separately.

46882689154_f8e68331b4_b.jpg

seems I was right.  Not to worry I’ll blend that in.

40640407703_cca50b1901_b.jpg

Coolio.

colour test time. Not a lot in it but I’m going for the one on the left. Red with a spot of orange.

32664423537_7e48d035f8_b.jpg

Right then masking! 

47553818432_ba8c838a9b_b.jpg

🤔 nice!

bonnet in and a blastof red!

46882689194_a1bef01595_b.jpg

not bad coverage. I rarely use gloss but that’s not bad. Pass two.

47553817262_db098dab91_b.jpg46691131165_e28cd4ca09_b.jpg

oh man it might not be everyone’s cuppa but I love the preshade. 😃

pass three.

46882696584_806fa31b2d_b.jpg

I like that! Dried for a bit, I popped the bonnet off and gave that a spray.

47606932651_4da1c9acf2_b.jpg

Back on and a gloss coat after drying.

47553821622_ec62145b2f_b.jpg

lovely but wet. Won’t dry like that. 

33729596288_e0b47db40a_b.jpg

not quite as smooth but not bad. Fingers crossed it’ll get smoother with another coat. 

46882694084_f8dbc850f0_b.jpg

I love the colour variation though. 😃

Decals then.

46882692954_51be304aeb_b.jpg

THATS a big un.

seems like a good place to stop for now.

Thank you for being patient with this one. I’m feeling the bench will be getting more use from now on.

Hope you’re all having a lazy and lovely afternoon. 

Happy modelling.

 

Johnny. 🤗

Johnny, very good result concerning the Body paint. This car is getting better with each step you're showing. Another masterpiece is on the way...

Yesterday I saw this kit in a store don't know why I didn't buy it...may be just because it was record day and I was looking for some vinyl music instead and spent my money for some Boise.

Next time I'll come along I'll give it a new chance...😴

Is that metallic in the paint or is the paint rough ? 

Rick 

It’s a little rough. I still have more top coats to go on though. I’m not that worried about it though.
