Tamiya 3t Cargo truck

Post by Vincent Power »

I grabbed this one out of the stash with the intention of a quick build to get my mojo back.

I made good progress for a while then moved on to other things. :shock:
I didn't take any in-progress shots other than these few. This was where I left it a couple of months ago.

Photos received! Well done Vincent, I'm glad you're back :D

Your finish really brings about the feeling of a cold dark winter day on some god-forsaken country trail somewhere in the east... I think I need another hot coffee now :lol:

Wow!
I would love to be able to produce models to this standard with a full mojo never mind a lost one!

Thanks Adam. :) Not so quick really. There was a long break in the middle of the build. I've been struggling with motivation lately and getting this across the line feels good. ;)

Cheers,
Vincent
