bigbadbadge Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This looks good, the bases were a brilliant idea too, I had a half track on the railway line base as a kid, glue everywhere and built in an afternoon with wonky wheels no doubt to. Great fun Good start and good luck with your build. Chris 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Good luck! I had this as a teenager and from memory did a pretty good job - even put some wet sand on it as "weathering". I wish I still had them. Looking forward to seeing your build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care Best Regards Patrice Thanks Patrice Mrs Jockney is back to normal, and free of Covid. Apparently the room service from myself left a lot to be desired and if our house was a hotel she wouldn't stay there again. The kids and I offered to help her pack but she didn't see the funny side ! Now all I have to do is resist the temptation to add this kit to the stash!
