Hi all here is the next bit

TBH I'm loosing interest in this dio even though it gets more interest (or maybe because it gets more interest) than more complex kits I'm building, I may shelve this for a while as I'm getting to the stage I feel like just chucking them together to get them out the way, once I've finished this model I think I will concentrate on the others I'm building, and put this on the back burner for now

some nice work there Ken,looking good,

Take a rest as with any large project after a while we all lose interest still its going to be great.
Some of my big build have taken me over two years plus

Hi all here is the next update, I've got to say this is THE very first kit I've ever built with no decals, not even for the dash a kit with a few disappointments the colours have codes at the start of the instructions but that is the only mention of them so apart from the box art there is no mention of what colour anything should be. Anyway here is where I am now.

Top notch work done on this build so far ken you deserve a rest break but it's going to look fantastic when it's all done

Hi all well the roller is finished, going to shelve this dio for a while as I'm starting to just chuck them together just to finish them and I'm not giving it my best so will come back to it when I feel more like doing it justice

Here is everything I have for the dio so far.

I agree with james pithouse.
It looks great so far. Looking forward to watching you build the road and base area of the diorama.
Keep up the good work.

Hi all here's the next update I made the break and fuel lines out of stripped network wires

I much prefer larger scales, I mean look how small this engine is

Compared to this

Those window blind slats are 4 inches (approximately 100 mill)
How you guys and gals add so much detail to 1/24 kits I take my hat off to you.

Hi all well here's the next update. I made the Speedo cable from some more network cable painted black.

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Hi all here's the next update

Don't know if anyone remembers them but made the cable that used to run from the door levers

And started on the next building
