Spiny Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Good decision to paint it I think, it's looking good already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hi all, a little modification needed to make for smooth running. I quite like the way it looks painted (far more interesting than wood) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 There's far more work in the ladder assu than the bodywork and it's far more difficult to get a smooth action but I'm quite pleased with how it's working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Nearing completion now, I may repaint the metal parts to look, well more like metal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Wow! I'm completely flabbergasted that you got this outstanding result from a stack of laser-cut slot-and-tab plywood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Painting it definitely works! That looks quite good. The ladder is huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I've always been ambivalent towards these kits. They look interesting but strike me as a 30 minute slap-together distraction much like the Airfix Quick Builds and similar. Giving it a painted finish has definitely improved the look of the finished kit. It's a superb result I may have to rethink..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 You definitely couldn't build it in 30 mins even without painting it. Well its done, bit disappointed with its operation but I'm sure my grandson will love it. https://youtu.be/SvG7vxUWCxM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
