Hi all, sorry for the lack of post, health problems and so on.
Anyway I started this a few years ago and came across it while sorting out my models and model room.
It was to be part of my V2 models display, but I never finished it.
Well I have started another project and this might just fit the bill, I may have to convert it to a tipper version, but time will tell.
Anyway it has inspired me to get some modelling done.
-
Welcome back Dave.
Waiting to see the new project.
-
That will be a nice build.

I have just discovered why I put it back in the box, I obviously had problems fitting various bits in the cab.
I have stripped it back and will have another go,
-
You little hero you - it will be excellent when you have finished it.
-
AFV are great kits but they can be a bit over engineered.
Very nice though.
Keep at it Zak.
-
Sorry again, not much done, the dreaded balance problems have returned, I actually saw a doctor face to face today.
-
Is the doctor OK or did he have to sit down after meeting you - hohohohohho - don't think I have seen a doctor face to face for about 14 months ( that is why the doctors in Beverley are all happy hohoho)
Hope the balance problems get sorted soon. - that's it for sympathy, back to the insults ---when you feel you can stand up for it - HoHo
-
I always thought these looked the business. No doubt you'll do it justice. Re your balance problem I feel for you as I suffer from benign postural vertigo so I know where you're coming from.
-
A little more work done.
This will have a scratch built rear tipper body for the collection of ore from the mine.
I just have to decide on the type of mine. Tungsten maybe, or a small heavy metal mine.
-
The paintwork looks good already.
-
Thanks Chris.
Work continues on the rear of the truck.
The truck will hopefully be loaded from a hopper with the partially crushed ore.
Still working on the type of mine.
Arsenic?
Talc - I can then call it Mohs Number 1 Mine?
-
How about a gold mine with 7 little people working in it - hohohohho
-
Hi Zak,
Great to have you back building again.
This looks a very nice looking model, and how you are planning to display it.
I suppose a lot more scratch building will follow.

No doubt, the mine is already growing.
I am planning on a diorama approximately 3' x 2', but more of that later,
I just need an amusing name for it,
Yoursan Mine - already been used.
Avent Adit - not sure.
Ideas please.
-
Rear painted in silver/aluminium, needs wearing and weathering.
-
Looking great -- love the foot plate and the worn section of cab by the side of the door.
-
Grand.
-
Spiffing!
-
The Mine/pit will have the ore delivered from the working face/crusher by a narrow gauge railway.
I will open a new thread for the mine.
With my balance problems still evident, I managed to drop the truck and now need to put it all back together, The joys of modelling.
-
Truck repaired, all wheels now pinned as well.
Door handles still to add,
-
Looking at the photo of the truck after you dropped it - thought it looked like one of my models - hohohoho
Balance getting any better ??????

Better, but not right, thanks for asking.
-
The good news after the repair is that it will look well used, a bit like a farmer's vehicle. You'll have to stay sat at your workbench and get Sandra to bring and fetch things? Hmmmm......
-
Hi Zak,
Sorry to hear you are still suffering with your balance problems. Looks like the 'repair' is going well and the model will be back to its former glory soon.

The truck's looking good. Hope the balance problem subsides soon Dave.
-
Hope your feeling better soon Mr Zak.
Weathering looks great. This model will suit a bit of mud and rust.
-
It’s looking good.
