                        I need help getting motivated. Sounds familiar. Its not the model this time, or the weathering, or the scratchbuilding. Its putting on some jerry cans. Does anybody have some good ideasfor making straps? im probably going to use masking tape or toth floss.

                        The Jerrycans are the 2nd to last edition of extras. I going to try and make some branches and put them on.

                        Sorry i can't post pics though. Computer #1 (which i postpics with) broke and has to go to the storeto get fixed. Computer #2 does not work with the soft wear. So you'll have to wait awhile. Sorry!

                        ok here is my progress so far. engine and most of the kit except body itself is done. been a breeze to put this one together. two minor probs did surface. the decals for the instrument panels did not take. they have peeled up at the edges. also the exhaust pipe clashed with the drive axle, couldnt get them both in the same spot. so tried to heat the exhaust piece and poof liquid plastic. going to use wire to replace the oops. but not going to install this until i get to the body. next up painting the body and adding it to the frame.

                        now the pics.









                        thanks for letting me share.

                        sorry had to change hosts for my pics. needed to update.

                        I said something about fixing the mesh, but I don't think we have come to a conclusion on how this should be done

                        I think I will just end up using the old Eduard PE set i have.

                        I have redone the mesh on my 223, but still haven't got round to posting the pics. I will try and do it soon, as it is a bit hard to explain how I went about it!

                        Looks like there is some nice work getting done. I have done noting to anything lately. For those that have sent pics for the site, I will try my best to get them up this weekend sometime.

                        Thanks for the input guys.

                        Istill have to do some tuch ups and then im really done!
                        I'll try to post pics of the scratchbuilt interior(it's my first attemot at scratchbuilding).

                        infact there was a lot of firsts in this model
                        First time:
                        usind pastels to weather
                        using a pencil to get a bare metal look
                        building in1/35
                        scratbuilding
                        making a blanket out of tissue
                        and soon to be my first diorama.

                        John

                        That is what these builds, and this hobby are all about. Nice job. I try to set myself new challenges with every kit now; it is a great motivator.

                        Looking forward to the dio.
