Scotties Humber Mk1

[stillp]

the gates are quite big so no doubt I will break a few lol.

Yes, but then you'll scratch replacements that look better than the kit parts!

Scottie,
More bits there than I got for Xmas.... Just put some filler in those pot holes, I use Mr Surfacer 500 and thin it down with either cellulose or their own thinner - outside helps as it stops you falling of the chair...
Will keep an eye on you.
Mike.

Hi Mike,
There is quite a bit of plastic for such a small vehicle. I normally use squadron green but just found out my tube has dried out so have ordered another one.

Thanks Pete but I think I will try and get them off without breaking them.

I'm in.

I bet the carpet monster is salivating already with all those tiny parts!

I try to keep him lean but he has a few tit bits now and then.

Not a lot done today but a few details added. I'm not going to go overboard as even with the hatches open you wont see much inside. So just some seat cushions and frame. The mounting bracket for the filter? was also scratched as the kit item was far to thick.



Next the radio received a little colour, again not perfect by any means but will hopefully look alright when fitted inside.



cheers

I'll pull up a chair Paul, looks an interesting build.

Evening Buddy,

Nice choice of a kit. I have wanted this one for a long time, but it was always too expensive in evilbay. I know you will do a super job building it and will you be putting Sean Connery in the TC hatch???

Would have been in sooner, but JR has me tending bar in his build, so time is limited...……...

Prost

[BigGreg]

and the details are coming....

Hey Paul,

I guess I had one too many. What I meant was are you going to put Michael Caine in the TC hatch, Not Sean...…...Hic...…..
I'm surprised nobody caught that error……….

It's been a while since I have got to the bench but I have managed to do some work on the interior. I haven't gone over board with the detailing as when all buttoned up not much will be visible but I wanted to leave a few hatches open. The interior is all OOB with the exception of the map pocket on the firewall. Any decent vehicle commander would not allow the vehicle to get in such a state but mine isn't house proud.









A little bit more to do including a matt coat.

C&C's as always welcomed
Cheers Scottie

Wait for me!

Just found this one Paul. A great start to 2020. I will sit quietly and look on in awe. Good luck mate.
