A superb book…from landmark industrial disputes to the Sex Pistols and punk rock…oh yes and ladybirds by the million…thoroughly enjoyable and heartily recommended too…

This will be a simple story but one that may resemble some sort of 1970s public information film…needless to say the guy smoking will just be a civilian in the 80s/90s perhaps….🤷♂️

A quite set of quite insanely small decals applied…given that they will only be visible through the side and rear windows I think they will do their job. So weathering the dashboard and cab innards is mostly done but will have another look tomorrow…

WIP obvs but messing about with some wear on the cab interior now…I don’t think I posted a photo of the chassis earlier so here it is…not too much weathering as it’s mostly hidden anyway…🤷♂️👍

11.10.2025 20:51 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I reckon if a kit takes me a month to build then the price I paid is fair enough..although I paid maybe £33 which is definitely NOT $79…more like $45 I reckon…🤷♂️

I am liking how this looks like it will come together…it’s a smart vehicle & thus far a great kit…just trying out the body on the chassis here as the cab is nowhere near finished yet…a nice AK kit I have to say…

Latest book haul…an eclectic mixture perhaps 🤷♂️…no idea but they all look marvellous for very different reasons…

Thanks…real life context like this is wonderful…😊👍
10.10.2025 19:44 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Cheers…so a say 20 year old ex-military vehicle might well have rust just about anywhere if it was poorly maintained in civvie street do you think…I‘m not going to go mad with it if so but patches of rust on the wheels and places that might cop some damage on the chassis and bodywork…?

@hupplescat.bsky.social a quick question…were the wheels, chassis and bodywork made from regular steel i.e. did they or would they rust with age do you know?

Started on the wheels and exhausts…👍😊
