The picture above illustrates the size of many of the parts I am dealing with - they still need cleaning up with the removal of the plastic from where the parts were located on the sprue. You have to admire the guys who developed this kit and that is something we model makers sometimes forget. We admire completed models and praise the builders for their skills and abilities but usually forget that there was an immense amount of skill and ability put in by people into developing, making the patterns and sorting plans out for the actual kit itself. I am still very impressed by this kit so for those at Zvezda I respect you and thank you! Please note the £1 coin is this week's pocket money from Mrs W. Just enough for a small ice cream!
Progress has continued with the chassis so I am now up to Section 21 on the plans. Its beginning to look like a truck - well in my eyes anyway! We will see how progress goes with the impending heatwave coming this weekend in the UK. It could be ice creams all round here at WMD HQ! Well a small one maybe!
Music for the latest build was provided by that great band Level 42 with their album Running in the Family and then to a compilation album from the 80s Our Friends Electric. Strange how you forget about certain songs which were big at the time and the memories that they bring back when you hear them again for the first time in years - oh happy days!
