I finished this. Adding a bit of detail, Trumpeter M915 cab, hood, mirrors and grill guard, wheel rims, rear bogie, frame with additions, mudguards, ‘flaps and taillights. Everything else is from Miniman Factory’s M916, which when unpacked was found to be incomplete and with several important pieces poorly molded.
The M172 lowbed and CAT D9G with armoured cab are both from HobbyLink.

Today bench time was devoted to a job from SWMBO. Drilling holes in ornaments she made for the family. My wife pours the resin around here! I managed not to crack any of them, so I’m pretty happy.

I have been having a hard time trying to post things lately. IPad IOS 26.2 is crap!
Started working on Riich Universal Carrier 3 Inch Mortar. I will start a build thread for more boring details.

I’ve been working on the landscape of a diorama project:
This image is a progress sequence, starting with initial staining on the left, adding rubble in the middle, and as is today on the right. This is a wider view for some context:
I’m pleased with how the loading dock (structure on the left with two orange “Xs) as it looks like the rest of the foundation. It’s made of basswood with various acrylic gels applied and the rest of the foundation is poured in place hydrocal.
OK, on we go

Don’t be harsh on your kit Barney. I reckon the site’s had a few problems too.

Check the site talk and you’ll see Jim has been having to migrate the photo servers, when the new ones came on line anyone not using a PC/Mac ie those using phones or tablets are finding that large threads like this one are reloading every photo from the beginning. Jim has suggested you have to refresh your browser.

This is an Apple IOS issue, not site related. Ever since we updated all our systems to IOS 26 they haven’t been operating as they should, lots of gremlins.
