A Soft Top... Without the top!!

[The Smythe Meister]

Well,apart from posting on my phone recently,i`ve had little to no modelling time!!,
.... In my defence.... I`ve been working down in a range of sites,( near to Penzance),each and every day,which entails a 220 mile round trip .....
HOWEVER..... This evening.... I`ve started back again with my trudge through this crap build!!
I will detract from simply moaning about the kit..;..
Here`s my ,As i like to call it.....,,,,, PROGRESS .....

 

[Airborne01]

Ahhhhh......Mr.Dewire.......
It is indeed Sir,and thank you,
As for "Wherever Devon is"........
Simple mate........
Head out of Europe towards the UK....just before you hit the fantastic Kent coast.....
Hang a left,(Or to "PORT"),and hug the gorgeous coastline of southern England until the natural Godliness glow turns......
..... into THE FABULOUS GOLDEN GLOW OF THE SOUTH DEVON COAST ............
You can`t go wrong,just look out at the people wandering around and you`ll see the HALOs that we all,(Naturally) ,wear!!

Deb'n be where Dragons are - the edge of beyond my 'andsome! (Almost Kernow so I'm led to believe!)

How very Dare you Sir!!..... I'm a Devonian through and through...
.... which translates as.....
.. NOT ONE OF THEM CORNISH TYPES!! .

Looking good Andy.
Being a Devonian, are you one of those knob throwing types???

Indeed Graeme .....
... if there`s a knob appearing..... i`ll throw it as far as i could possibly do...... especially if they`re Cornish,(Sorry Dan!!!!),
Andy

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Coming on very nicely mate.

Thanks mate,
Nowhere near your type of modelling,but i`m enjoying myself!!......
I`ve fitted all of the extra bits,and painted up awaiting final weathering,here`s where it`s at currently,next time it`s up will be in the "Completed" section....

 

[The Smythe Meister]

My current pics awaiting final weathering......



Yeah,it don`t look great..... but to be honest,it`s lucky that it didn`t get chucked in the bin!!
Thought i`d persevere as it wasn`t a cheap kit!!.... Obviously not finished quite yet.... but nearly!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that mate at all.

 

[Tim Marlow]

No sign of the struggle there Andy. That’s a cracker!

That's an awfully nice looking "Gun" truck and what you have done with it so far sure passes muster here in N.W. Montana!! If it's lacking anything it would be more "Guns"!! Rick ("The Red Neck") H.

Cheers Rick,
Yeah,i know what you mean..... actually,there is a "Spare" complete 50 Cal set up included in the kit,i was considering putting it together and adding it as a "Field Mod",as was often these Truck`s crews want.

Absolutely no complaints from me. Looks the bees knees on my phone.... will have a proper look on my PC at the weekend.

It's not small is it? Would be interesting to see my 1/100 Huey up against it...

Great work.

You`re right.... it certainly ain`t small !!
...... I wouldn`t worry about looking it up again on your PC,no really,there`s no need.... no,honestly THERE REALLY IS NO NEED !!!
Andy.
(That comparison would be rather interesting!)

Hi Andy
Looks fine to me as well. We are, far too often, our own worst critics. You look at it and see the things you could improve upon, the rest of us just see a very nicely made model.
