What a beautiful scratch you're doing in such a small kit. This is Unbelievable 😮 at least for a person with tired eyes like me. Do you use a microscope? 😄

Rui, these days I can barely find my work bench without my optivisor. 😄 😄
David, I do it because I like the challenge as well...and I can't write symphonies. Scratch-building in 1/72 also gives me a chance to practice swearing. I'm getting quite good at it now. 😳

Thanks all for tagging along. 🙂

Thanks Lukasz. 🙂
The original intention was to do a quick out of the box build...then I saw what was missing and I've sort of got carried away. 🙂

1/72 Foden C-Type Steam Wagon.

I like steam lorries. There you go, I’ve said it! 😳
Some other counties used steam wagons but Britain was addicted to them long after the rest of the world discovered diesel. They were antiquated, slower, heavier, less efficient and a generally a bit on the ridiculous side…. so obviously I’m going to like them. 🙂
The Keil Kraft kit is about as basic as my grasp of Mandarin. This is going to take a bit of work….
Some people might think that detailing a tiny model is a bit of a pain. They would probably called ‘normal’.
Some people might think that using many hours to detail a tiny plastic kit is ‘wasting your life’. That would probably be 99.5% of the population.
Some people might think my efforts on my tiny little inconsequential model aren’t precise enough and are therefore, sacrilege. Lets call them ‘a bit of a dick’.
This is the bit I enjoy, and what is a ‘hobby’ if it isn’t passing the time in a pleasurable way until they finally nail the lid closed. Is it any more a waste of time than writing a book or composing a symphony?
Well obviously it is. 🙁
Now, I’m not saying that I’m producing something which is entirely accurate. I’m saying it’s “well, sort of” and “It’s better than it was”. It’s mainly to busy up a previously basic kit and to waste my life in a way that I think is entertaining and relatively harmless… other than the paint vapour, glue fumes, resin dust, scalpel wounds, gluing myself to various objects with super glue, wrestling with carpet monsters, being buried in an avalanche as a result of an unstable stash mountain, being attacked by a rivet counter driven mad by Trumpeters aircraft design team.…. all reasonable dangers I’ll think you’ll agree.
