Modelling World War 1

Is it a Goofy Mask?? Ho, Ho

Or has Halloween come early..........................

Joking apart, keep at old son. I am intrigued to see how it turns out compared to Zak original.

I have been assembling the sides, some corrective clamping was required to ensure all was square.
I had forgotten the joys of resin kits - do you detect a touch of sarcasm here?
What me, no never.
The clamps from haddock came in useful.
The next part involves removing 1mm from two of the floor sections as they are too wide according to the instructions.

Regarding the resin Problems, I had a similar experience with the few resin bits of the Achgelis, difficult to remove and not that accurate really. Not what I would expect from resin. Nevermind, as Wizzel correctly points out, that is the difference between modelling and Assembling.

A little more done, the driver and brake seats and controls.

Modelling continues, struggling with the resin.

Hi Zak,
It looks like its coming together nicely, with plenty of detail in there.
Keep up the good work.

ditto.......Keep struggling!

Engine installed, you won't be able to see much of it when the roof is on and the gun is in place, still never mind.
I think I have more scrap resin that there is resin in the kit.

Decorating is looming!

Looks good Zak.
Its kinda nice knowing its in there even though you can't see it.
I presume scratch building has become more appealing after this model.

Well, its different and it is always good to have a change.

After a walk up the North York Moors I did a little bit last night.

Decorating definitely seems to be on the cards in the next week or so.

Looking good.......it will soon be time to decorate IT!

You are probably right and that's how I should be looking at it, but with a decent plan scratch building may have been easier.
You can see that the smaller parts have to have a film removed from around then and all the other parts are well attached to the runner and have to be sawn off. Of course I am wearing a mask.

Sawn off?  Mask?  Ah, so that's how you afford all these resin kits!!!

My spare time job.
Your imagination is far too fertile Dave2.
