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.

Engine and wood painted (MiG.063 (plae blue/grey) and MiG old wood). Both need weathering next
engine primed black, wooden cab floor primed grey....
68GTLooking good Rob!
cheers.. started on the cab as well - a nice wooden floor which will be
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)
On Ed's bench, ???

cheers Dodgy... that shows just how good the engine in the kit is (the pipe that goes up and over could do with being a little thicker/textured (some filler may do for that). I really do think I am going to paint 99% or the components off the chassis then add & touch up when built
Dodgy Rob, I found a few pics around the engine, and will load them later today. Also on UTube there is a two part army film showing the scammel recovering a tank.

yep I have that video saved - it is brilliant and will use it to tie down the load - a Caunter painted Matilda (done earlier this year)
More small components... ordered the recommended blue paint (think it will do for the SU-122 ans T-54-2 builds planned for latter - think their interiors have a blue part or two) but need to work out if I paint the engine now then look to fit and, if I do, how to mask when I paint the chassis etc
it has a lot of smaller parts BUT on the whole goes together well (user error not withstanding). Think for the engine it calls out either the grey/blue or base vehicle colour (ie sand)... Quite like the idea of the blue if it is accurate...
anyway today's build completed the engine (barring small PE bits) and started on the chassis. Didn't attempt steering, too much of a wimp (engine just dry fitted for now)
I did find a couple of magically appearing pieces within the engine build. After much searching I believe this is correct:
Dodgy Well Rob, that little beauty is a kit in itself. I read a review on the Scammel a few months back and it had a couple of interesting points, particularly for the trailer, I'll see if I can find it for you. Did you purchase the PE set?

no PE purchased for this... i know the cab has a few "how to" articles around to improve via scratch building...
Thanks Ed. Now where did I put that Boeing????
Rob, you are more than welcom to join. 6 months is more than enough pause for the GB.
Dodgy G'day Ed. May I buy into this GB? I have a number of prospective shelf queens, but I want to finish a Williams Boeing 247 that I started over 10 years ago. I will post a couple of photos in the next day or so. Rob F

Hi Rob I noticed that you're building the Scammel. I have this in my stash and would be interested in your comments.
