Hi Vlad,

I will sit in if you don't mind :) I would like to build a Diamond T Wrecker. I have markings for an Australian truck.

Curious to see how the Mirror Models kits go together. The finished products i have seen around do look good and suitably busy and detailed 8-)

Trying hard to do some modeling!

Hey chaps, apologies for not being around much of late, one thing and another etc!! Many thanks all for the comments and sticking with me :)

I've not done a lot of 35th modelling, but I have made a little progress on the wrecker, apologies for the lack of photos, to this point, once you get started with these mirror kits they don't allow you much freedom :lol:

The chassis is virtually complete now, and it is a complex beast, 6x6 with power take offs for the winches!!! bare bones of the cab too, the sheer size of this bad boy is starting to become apparent!

Im starting to become concerned about the two, yes two Diamond M19 tank transporters now :roll:

Anyway leave you with a few pics of where I'm at!

Very nice :D

This is going to be an extremely impressive piece of plastic once it's complete!

Nice work on the big boy, Vlad

A transporter too, you will need a bench extension soon!

Good to have other interests to keep your focus on all the modeling themes that spark your interest ;)

More soon?

hopefully

I do like the resin wheels, I assume they are a vast improvement over the kit supplied wheels?

Yes and no Greg, I bought them thinking they might be, but there isn't a lot in it!

The etch is definitely worth getting.
