Most of them end in the spares drawer.

I can understand that space is always at a premium but it seems a shame that all your hard work ends up being recycled as opposed to admired. Then again, recycling is better than binning!

I actually have started binning some as our house comes with the job and our boss is getting on a bit so prepairing for downsizing.

Hi all well it's starting to look like a London bus now.

kpnuts · « **Reply #80 on:** March 04, 2017, 01:21:58 AM »

Hi all, well the bus is done

Here are the cars for it (I've realised I didn't put the lotus in it) I think it's looking quite busy.

Hi all next update, started the London taxi, I must say I'm a bit disappointed (not the kit it's good enough) it's just I could have knocked it out in a day easily, it is a VERY simple kit, yes it looks like a London taxi but maybe if it had a full engine or maybe the door handles were separate parts, I don't know what they could have done but it really is a simple kit.The kit is rated skill level 3 personally I think it should be level 1.

Anyway I've also started the Italari phantom 2 rolls royce (I've spent the same amount of time on this so you can see the difference) the taxi only needs the glass and body on half an hour, let dry add decals done in 2 hrs

Hi all well the taxi is finished (definitely not skill level 3 as the instructions suggest) I could easily done it in a day.

I did some more to the roller

Also started a paper model of a classic London Police box (never done a paper model before and it's a strughle)

Hi all well i didn't like mk1 so here's mk2

And here's the two together

Much happier.

Hi all here is the next update

Old Wombat · « **Reply #88 on:** March 11, 2017, 02:40:20 PM »

Cool!

kpnuts · « **Reply #89 on:** March 14, 2017, 04:55:09 AM »

Hi all here is the next update, I've got to say this is THE very first kit I've ever built with no decals, not even for the dash a kit with a few disappointments the colours have codes at the start of the instructions but that is the only mention of them so apart from the box art there is no mention of what colour anything should be. Anyway here is where I am now.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #90 on:** March 14, 2017, 10:02:30 AM »

Nice! :)

Hi all well the roller is finished, going to shelve this dio for a while as I'm starting to just chuck them together just to finish them and I'm not giving it my best so will come back to it when I feel more like doing it justice

Here is everything I have for the dio so far.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #92 on:** March 20, 2017, 07:50:30 AM »

Good idea, mate! :)

kpnuts · « **Reply #93 on:** July 12, 2017, 03:38:29 AM »

Hi all on this again (at least until I get back to the Thermopylae)

Old Wombat · « **Reply #94 on:** July 12, 2017, 04:20:28 PM »

It's a Mini onna stick!

Hi all here's the next update I made the break and fuel lines out of stripped network wires

I much prefer larger scales, I mean look how small this engine is

Compared to this

Those window blind slats are 4 inches (approximately 100 mill)
How you guys add so much detail to 1/24 kits I take my hat off to you.

kpnuts · « **Reply #96 on:** July 19, 2017, 01:28:40 AM »

Hi all well here's the next update. I made the Speedo cable from some more network cable painted black.

Hi all here's the next update

Don't know if anyone remembers them but made the cable that used to run from the door levers

And started on the next building
