Hockeyboy76 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 With the Mighty Mouse build looking slightly easier than planned, I have dug this badger out of the stash too. I decided to build it mostly to prove a few things to @trickyrich, 1 I do build normal scale models, 2 I can build two in 24hrs unlike his 2 queens in 24months. It looks fairly easy, only one major colour, I mean what could possibly go wrong? Speaking of going wrong where’s @modelling minion, I hope his finished polishing his banana and will be joining in the fun. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 1037, and while paint dries on Mighty Mouse, it’s time to start this one. Again going with the Scottish option to give time for paint to dry and some domestic chores I feel coming my way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Started again just before 1600 you can see the wheel weights, but I fear it still could be a tail sitter Ready for primer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Knocked this on the head at 1900, that’s 5hrs 20 so far. Drying overnight under some gloss black ready for some Silver tomorrow morning. Will get some time in around the GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and don't forget the World Superbikes, Monte Carlo 24hr Motorbike race, Tour de France and the International T20, how are you going to fit domestic chores around that little lot. Great job buddy, looking forward to seeing tomorrows progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
