Nice! Deserves more pictures. Having fun with this one right now myself. It goes together like a dream.

Guy Rump
I agree with John. 👍

Kesa Tiho
I built the same model last year, well done!

Thanks guys! 🤠 yes, Tamiya kits are always wonderfully engineered 🙏🏻

Kesa Tiho
Silly looking truck 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

Spanjaard
first row available? great, ready for the scratch master class 🙂
and a bit of fun too, of course 😉

gorby
Welcome to the build mates.
Kesa: Sillier the better for me. I go out of my way to find odd things to build. 🙂

David Taylor
Back in.

gorby
👍 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
I love the armoured cars and Gorbs' projects - I have to watch this too 👍

gorby
Welcome Lukasz. I hope the end result won't disappoint. 🙂

CaptGPF
I often winder how you choose your next topic for scratch builds! The subject matter is always something different or interesting - and the builds just phenomenal! Taking a seat to see the next creation!

Greg Baker
Oh, this is cool. I scratch-built an armoured car too - nothing this intense though - so I'm super-keen to see this one shape up.

gorby
Thanks both. 👍
Capt: for this one I went looking for something Norwegian, because that was the subject of the GB for Jens. It had to be something I'd be able to scratch build (as I was too tight to open my wallet to buy something. 😄 ). Normally it's because I just stumble on an interesting picture. 🙂

John Hughes
Another case of Norway nul points?

Alec K
Splendid, I am in 👍

gorby
😄 😄
Glad you could both join in. 🙂

New photos start from number 13
Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Those rivets look good 👍

Kesa Tiho
Silly angry black truck 👍

gorby
😄 😄 😄
Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

Alec K
Nice progress on this dry teabag-proof vehicle 👍😂

gorby
Teabag-proof is a bit of a stretch. I suspect the insurance would have been void if they drove past Tetley's.
I'm currently making a pigs-ear of the weathering. No change there then. 😄
Thanks Alec. 👍

gorby
I'm not one of those people who claim to have a remarkable super-power...the ability to know what colour something is in a black and white photo. I haven't found anywhere which mentions what colour it was, so I'm going grey. Actually most of my hair fell out before I went grey but that's probably down to living with a daughter all those years ago. 😄
Oh yes, grey. I used Tamiya XF-87 as I thought that would be the most actuate shade of grey for something I know nothing about. Or it could equally be that I've got a lot of XF-87. Seems like a good enough reason to me.
I hope to get the completed pics posted at the weekend.

bughunter
Square, pragmatic, great! 👍

Michael Kohl
I am German. So square is my kinda stuff.

Thanks matiepoos. 🙂

Finn
Really, really cool

gorby
Thanks very much Finn. 👍

Aaaaaannd…..tis done. Completed photos now posted. Hope you like my obscure Norwegian oddity. 🙂

Alex Rakhimgulov
Wow! Such an unusual and interesting piece of tech art! Joy!

Alec K
Very nice, love it 👍
