beefy66 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 While the daughter and her boyfriend are up visiting for the next couple of weeks i have been turfed out of my model room but I can still use the old garage but this means that the battle class build will be on hold until then as I do not want to start moving all the stuff around and end up where something goes missing. So to keep my sanity in place i will be doing this quite modern TUG it will be a OOB build no fancy detailing just for a bit of fun and to keep me out of the way with most of my stash. Seem to remember someone else doing this kit with a lot of detail added Side open boxes don't work for me so i cut this one open to have a flap lid Main hull and upper structures go together quite well and a coat of primer normally just use this desk and workbench as a spraying area but back to using it as a build desk again beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 A bit of light relief there Beefy and we all need that from time to time. Both of those Revell tug kits have been in my hands but I haven't given into the temptation...yet. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gents thank you for following along with this I have to apologise for the lack of updates but soon after starting this build I lost one of my best mates my springer spaniel Sophie So I have not quite been in the mood for any building but rather than sulk around I have sat back down at the bench and managed to get some paint on the soapdish Hull and thruster pods painted in antifoul red and the bridge in white primer I do miss that furball lying next to me when I,am building beefy 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Gent's thanks for all your kind words it is really appreciated So trying to get MO and JO back at it more painting done I think the masking for the bridge structures will be a bit of a challenge and somehow I have managed to lose a small bit from the winch to the carpet monster which in itself is a strange one as there is no carpet in the garage will have to make one of the sticky up things bit of practise to my scratch build none existent skills suppose you have to start with the small things first beefy 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
