I'm not sure about the Dark Green I used on the cab and panels, they may be changed to another colour.

Frank MolnarGot some colour on the truck tonight. I'm not entirely sure about the Dark Green cab colour, much darker than I wanted, but I'll see how it looks after some weathering and toning down.

BozzerYep, I'll hitch a ride too, on this one. Kinda like the way they heated the dump bed, on this.

Nick JLooks great, hoping to get some ideas before I dig this one out of the stash.

BozzerAny updates yet, Frank? Kinda looking forward to seeing how this one turns out, too?

Frank MolnarSorry Nick, Bozzer, work has reduced bench time recently so not much progress on anything. As soon as I get back to the myriad of WIPs I have, I'll do some updates, cheers guys 👍

BozzerNo worries mate. I can appreciate how work, gets in the way. Likewise, I have several builds that I have to finish, but I've also just built and moved into my new Mancave. Just trying to complete that, before I hit the glue and paint.

Frank MolnarNice 👍
First thing I need to do when I get back in there is evict all the little critters who've been putting up cobwebs! 😄😄😄

Jonathon HerringI relate to the "Life interrupts" situation. I was on a serious roll when, I got sick twice 😤, then repairs around the house, and my youngest son (24 in March) needing direction in life (yeah….I'm the guy to direct anything 🫨) So, three weeks later, I have built, repaired, and finished my current projects 5 times over in my head but nowhere else. I'm such a disappointment to my Mother and puppy😭

BozzerI'm curious to know, if you guys have already planned your next, new build? I have a few that I'm itching to do, including a Can Do Wrecker, my Cityliner bus, and a scratch built turntable ladder fire engine. None are quick builds, but I just wondered if you guys thought about it, while you're busy with life?

Jonathon HerringBozzer; I will either go back to some projects that I've started ie; Beetle diorama, M51 Super Sherman, Ukrainian diorama, or rebuild of an old DML T-80. New build would be one of my several Semi's and trailers. Eagle? Autocar? Superliner? Ford wrecker? Ford Dump with a scratch built trailer?🤔 I have no shortage of kits, just time😏 Oh, the suffering 🤭

Frank MolnarBozzer, there's always stuff rattling around in my head, ideas about projects and future builds. Then I'll look at the stash and pick something completely different. 🤷♂️
I need to concentrate on all the WIPs floating around. I've started by organising them all together on a dedicated WIP shelving unit so that they're not forgotten. Problem is, I keep buying more kits 🤦♂️😄

Martin OostromIdeas enough, kits enough, supplies enough. Just lack the time and/or energy/mojo.
And real life is annoyingly getting in the way all the time
10 February, 07:19
BozzerLol, I know all about the buying more kits! I've just picked up another 1/16 Peterbilt 359
10 February, 12:53
Frank MolnarAgreed Martin, mojo is a major obstacle currently forme. Not the first time, so I know I'll be back!
Bozzer, we just can't help ourselves 😄
