844john Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks Paul, I must get my finger out and and get the front axle made so that I can get the wheels on properly, after that there's not loads left to do before l can splash a bit of paint! As for a Marshall, well I seem to have settled into that classic era now with my builds, the next was going to be blue, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 managed to grab an hour or two and fit the front axle, 4wd prop shaft and guard and also some bits and pieces on the cab, sunroof, door hinges, side lights, number plate etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alastair, it's these long dark nights, living in the sticks your choices are limited to watching TV, having an in door hobby, or increasing the population......so modelling it is, after all there's never owt to watch on the TV, and even the slightest mention of another little bundle of joy sees me being threatened with a rubber ring and a pair of castrating pliers!

844john Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Some paint on, white is just primer and hasn't gone on as well as i would of liked, but should be ok when it's wet and dried. Little bits still to add like mirrors, wiper, plough lights and decals, but she's starting to come together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Farm Models Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Looks bang on to me mate, a few little blemishes are inevitable I wouldn’t worry about it, the wet and dry method will definitely clean it up and iron out any issues.
