mb86 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Another fantastic build taking shape john. Those big cabs were a familiar sight around the dale at one point. Your builds keep getting better with each model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging what you've posted on here I don't think you need any more practice John, I know there is always sething new to learn but I'm not the only one of the opinion that these are amongst the best builds on here. I'm looking forward to seeing what ever it is you choose to build next, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 312 Alastair, I measured and photographed Martin's a few months ago now, so I really must get around to making a start on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok that will be a fiddly little one! I’m not sure if being fixed chassis rather than articulated makes it better or not. We have one in at the moment so shout if you need any close ups etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Almost done, just waiting on the decals. A little bit of tidying here and there, might rub the mudguards down and paint them again as I'm not totally happy with the finish on them, but she's about ready to roll!
