A new ‘this is what I like to build, pinned post’…variety being…well quite an interesting challenge I suppose…🤷‍♂️

Indicators on and looking fairly sharp I think…also the second batch of gas cylinders are well underway now…

OMG….not sure I have ever experienced such a rush of ‘need, need, need’ for a pair of forthcoming kits…but…

A superb book…from landmark industrial disputes to the Sex Pistols and punk rock…oh yes and ladybirds by the million…thoroughly enjoyable and heartily recommended too…

It’s a nice bit of detail and from a slight distance looks pretty cool…👍

This will be a simple story but one that may resemble some sort of 1970s public information film…needless to say the guy smoking will just be a civilian in the 80s/90s perhaps….🤷‍♂️

A quite set of quite insanely small decals applied…given that they will only be visible through the side and rear windows I think they will do their job. So weathering the dashboard and cab innards is mostly done but will have another look tomorrow…

WIP obvs but messing about with some wear on the cab interior now…I don’t think I posted a photo of the chassis earlier so here it is…not too much weathering as it’s mostly hidden anyway…🤷‍♂️👍

I reckon if a kit takes me a month to build then the price I paid is fair enough..although I paid maybe £33 which is definitely NOT $79…more like $45 I reckon…🤷‍♂️

I am liking how this looks like it will come together…it’s a smart vehicle & thus far a great kit…just trying out the body on the chassis here as the cab is nowhere near finished yet…a nice AK kit I have to say…
