Tonight,Long stick goes Boom.
- Thread starter The Smythe Meister
- Start date
Just caught up Andy, and an outstanding job on the search light.
I will indeed Scottie !!
And please do draw closer...... then,maybe,some of your amazing talents,will rub off on me!!
Andy
HA!! Very good Graeme...... on 2 counts........... Mainly the "Illuminating" one!!
The Genny is proving to be more difficult than i expected,but not insurmountable
Andy
"Fun" most definitely Sir........ and ALMOST scratchery,however,you will have to look on to see what i mean!!Sounds like fun Andy...........more scratchery I assume? Bring it on. Rick H.
Andy
I most certainly am mate...... but the only thing that can stop me is...........
....... LACK OF ABILITY!! ....
............ and that is certainly something i`m worried about,as you will soon see!!
Andy
Yep,by now i`ve DEFINIATLEY Heard that one properlyThat is the best I have heard in a long time........thanks for sharing JR. If you can't hear it Andy, it just means that your wife intercepted JR's post and has censored it so it won't undermine her authority over you
.....and it`s very good!!......
As far as Rach is concerned.... i love her to bits..... and she KNOWS that i`m ALWAYS right!!
,Andy
Cheers Mick!
And "Proper Job" is the best expression..... Your comments are much appreciated thank you mate
Andy
.............. I can`t believe it`s been so long since i posted on this one!!
However,i have been pretty busy with it. I must admit that i underestimated the challenge of tghe Genny cart,i thought it`d be a sinch compared to the Searchlight itself,but i was WRONG!!! 
...... (Certainly not the first time.......... and POSITIVELY not the last!!),
ANYWAY,this stage of the build is a bit of a hybrid if i`m honest..... i can`t call the Genny an absolute Scratch build for the following reasons
!!......
The box section,made from plasticard an various extrusions,ROUGH i know,but will be trimmed......
Yeah,i know it looks awful,but it`s just a base!!
Here`s the Driving chassis(,now here`s where it goes past "Scratching") ......It`s basically the chassis from a 1/35th WW1 Truck that i didn`t complete....
....and i had some Jeep wheels,with Vinyl Tyres,from an unused kit......
There`s the bits married up..... AGAIN..... it`ll be sorted later
So then,there is more to report,but i`ll do that later,
Thanks for looking in guys,more to post soon!!

Nice to see this one is still progressing mate. Keep up the great work
In that case Mick,
After buying up your fill of Alcohol,i`d imagine you`re STILL THERE?!!
Andy
OK Then chaps...........
Here is my progress,it may not look much,but each stage has taken me a little while!! ,
I needed to build up the frame for the Genny.......
A bit tricky for a base modeller like me,but i cut down some arcs from 1.5 mm plasticard as frames...Then added some ULTRA thin Plasticard
to try and bend to get the finish i wanted............
Bent over,after gluing to one side.........
Then i added the Vent side sloping bits And lastly,for now,the pic of ......
So that`s it all together at the mo,needs smoothing out and then some,but it`s certainly on the way!!
Not as great as i was hoping so far,but the wheel chassis is coming on,and this should be ok soon!!Thanks for looking in,
Andy

Getting there Andy. It will come together nicely once you smooth out the joins
