prestonlal Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hey mate...! Apologies....! Been tediously converting the pics over to Flickr pic hosting as I'm not prepared to pay the $400 that photobucket wants .... About halfway done on the original thread over on Scale4x4RC ...about 450 pics so far...as soon as I get it fully converted I will start copying the links over here.

prestonlal Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hey guys.... What's up? I know it's been six months since I last posted...but it seems that photobucket's embargo has been lifted...lol...my pics are back up...! I'm still building.... Just slowed down a bit...lol... Started on a HQ Tonner...then hit a wall when I couldn't find any more of those 1/18 spring loaded hood/ bonnet hinges...So I guesstimated what 1/10 should be based on the measurements of the 1/18 ones and came up with this...took a bit of trial and error...

prestonlal Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Been hunting high and low for suitable material for the grille inserts, as its way too tiny for me to attempt to scratch build ...was looking at model train construction bits but was pointed in the right direction by 2Beers! Thanks buddy! The sewing aisle is where it's at!
