Plus Models forklift

Another vehicle for a dio I’m building . kit NOT recommended . Very close to being launched across the room several times .

As you can see the left rear wheel is about an eighth of an inch off the ground , higher than a dogs leg taking a leak . However easily hidden by drums or barrels or crates .

Looks like it took part in a REFORGER exercise in a previous life…

Nice job :+1:

It certainly looks like a well worn and used forklift. The seat cracking is very well done and looks like numerous seats I’ve used in the past and I like the accessories. It’s usually the small things that make a great model.

Well Glenn, I’m glad to see you say that - I built the same kit earlier this year and had the same problem! But unlike you, I decided that for the first time ever, I would be the one to be able to successfully bend resin parts into place like you can with plastic. Guess what? it didn’t work and all i did was snap all of the rear end off. What a treat. So, out it came and I rebuilt it with evergreen. Your idea is better.

Good to see you posting again -

Thanks guys !!

Nick BBQ Miniaturist Bro , good to see ya again . [ It’s your own fault , ya told the whole BBQ gang , so now you’re wearin it ] .

I didnt mention in the post that the rear kit suspension was feeble and just bad . I also used Evergreen rod for the rear axle . The problem with the main chassis being warped is that whatever you do other than straighten out the main body , when you do the wheels , one side will be normal and the warp side would have a gap from wheel top to fender larger than the gap in Michael Strahan’s upper teefers .

I just got back , I gotta find your work and see what you’ve been doin , Tim pm’ed me that I’ll be amazed !!! Like I expected no less .

Yeah @Stickframe has been pushing out some ok builds for a miniaturist while you been gone. They are still worth checking out if you like his style.
