Brad Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I'll go with something a little different this build. The kit will be the very nice Tamiya 1/35 offering. I'm going the superhero option on boxing day. Lots of cricket watching, BBQ eating and alcohol drinking will be happening as well.

Paul821 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 A super hero option on Boxing day - with your time advantage you could well be finished even before some of us are out of bed, let alone at our builds. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck I plan to start at midnight too, get in 3 or 4 hours then a little sleep, wake up finish build and paint. Leaves me plenty of time for gloss decals and weathering.

Brad Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 It's 1:30am now and I've completed steps 4,5 and 6. I've left off the wheel at the front and the seats to make painting easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Well it's now 2:14am, primary construction has gone as far as I want it to for painting ease. Sets, steering wheel, tires and soft top are left off to paint separately. Time for sleep, cya in the morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 WOW - Great progress - it's a pity about the huge white space at the bottom of all your posts though - it detracts from the 'flow' of your thread. Is it the remnant of an old 'signature' or something??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
