Rolling Shelf of Doom GB

More comming mate.

Last one mate. Nightshift???? I Haven't seen that in years!!

68GT

Looking good Rob!

 

cheers.. started on the cab as well - a nice wooden floor which will be

1. primed grey
2. painted wood colour
3. hairsprayed
4. painted base (Khaki Green No 3)
5. chipped to show the underlying wood paint where normal wear & tear would show)

so tomorrow (if I get time) will be prime the engine (black) and prime the cab floor (grey) (and do the same on the M4 HST)

engine primed black, wooden cab floor primed grey.... 

Engine and wood painted (MiG.063 (plae blue/grey) and MiG old wood). Both need weathering next

Looking great. My modeling efforts have come to a complete standstill at the moment. Hope to get some more work done this week as i have several builds on the go. Also have a great idea for a Dunkirk diorama involving Brit trucks thats bouncing around inside my head.

yep lack of *** can be a pain... it wil come back....

back to the building desk after a weekend of painting. Some more work on the chassis - this time the trailer coupling. Used a guide from the Panzerserra build (http://panzerserra.blogspot.com/2018/03/scammell-pioneer-trmu30-tractor-with.html) to make the coupling more robust...

and the first "semi mating" of tractor and trailer (need more supports on the chassis before it looks more accurate...

today's work, coupling complete plus added the rope from the winch that will go to the trailer. If I do hitch it all up it does make the set "stuck" but would be worth it to have the load tied down....

ends up like

so some tidying up with glue needed and this is more cushions

more slow work of cab interior & furniture. need to get the floor wooded up really. 

Those cushions look great - I'm going to pinch that idea, if you don't mind?

course not, am sure I nicked it from someone in the first place

​

 so an afternoon painting wood (including on thE M4 HST) and starting the weathering on the engine leave me with:

I followed this tutorial on painting wood which actually is quite fun slaphdash washes (plus i addedsome transparent orange at the end)

Looking great. Love the woodgrain, will have to give that a try.

OK Ed, I found the Boeing 247 and after much more searching found the rest of the parts, so here she is.

Must be close to 15 years or more since I last held this kit. I think I'm going to have to chisel off the dust before I start!

nice starting canvas... look forward to more of this...

done some more work on rear axles and wheels but photos are of engine and cab floor in situ ( all just placed for the moment). I think I will prime the cab, chassis etc and trailer this weekend (may even get the factory colour down on the cab interior)

Mate, that engine is schmick! I feel like I'm looking at the pictures I sent you. Awsome work!

cheers, having good references makes life a lot easier

Finally, after 30+ years, I can cross this off the list, or should I say take her off the "shelf of doom"...

And its companion piece the Ferngi Marauder...

And now blow to the dust off another doomed shelf queen. This one is a little more conventional although almost as old...
