Another Gorby-licious small-scale "weird" (we wouldn't want you any other way) creation... Definitely in! 👍

Welcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂

Front row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!
11 August, 01:47
![](/profiles/img/56165-775-s.jpg)
Another build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!

I dont understand anything thats going on but i hope your build turns out absolutely stunning

That made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂

Scale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?
11 August, 09:03
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Definitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.

Excellent!
I found a link to the B17 I mentioned. It shows what is possible:

Hi Gorby.On the real truck there is a winch as a standard fit in the middle.
12 August, 18:27
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
amazing job my friend. not tobe missed, certainly
thanks for the link to that 1:20 B17, it is out of this world.....
12 August, 19:14
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks David, that might have been the reason. 👍
Thanks Spanjaard. That B17 is one of the best scratch-builds I've ever seen - well beyond my ability. I think he sold it to a museum in the US.

I hope to complete the build today and hopefully take some photos in the next couple of days.
Thanks for tagging along. 👍

Looking at the pic Gorby the driver is reversing the truck back to install the engine.Probably a hand winch with a ratchet.
14 August, 14:39
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks mates. 🙂
You could be right David. In the photo the load isn't attached to the crane hook but a hoop on the jib, as you say, probably using a hand winch. I have three photos of the back of various versions of this vehicle and none of them shows anything which might be used to control the crane, so obviously I can't add what I don't see. Thanks for your comment. 👍

Charging ahead with my next build I nearly forgot to post the completed pics of this thing. Hope you like how it's turned out. 🙂

Wow Gorby! Your attention to detail + interesting subject matters are always a joy to watch! I love how you stepped us through the scratch build process and you approach to modeling - very much appreciated!
17 August, 15:36
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Wow I'm really taken aback by the response to this one. Lovely comments, thank you all. 🙂
John: My next build is well advanced and hopefully I'll be putting it on here next week. This time it's a full scratchbuild, although not on the scale of my last traction engine. 👍
18 August, 05:55

Another fine addition to Gorby's house of haunted vehicles. Great job!

That made me laugh Martin. Thanks for your comment. Perhaps 'deranged vehicles' might be more fitting. 😄

Después de 10 meses declarado terminado este proyecto. Fue desafiante, ya que entré en un área sin mayor experiencia, en la que tuve que modificar muchas piezas, y detallar el interior con scratch. No quedé conforme, pienso que pudo haber sido mejor. Especialmente quedé insatisfecho con las palas del rotor principal. No pude darle la altura para que no se apoyaran en la cola, las desarme y volví a armar tres veces. El problema fue que la base al interior del fuselaje en donde va montado el rotor cedió en donde ejercí mucha presión, al hundirse esa pieza fue imposible darle más altura al rotor y por ende más altura a las palas. Bueno sirve de aprendizaje para futuros proyectos.

I'm three years late but I just got STUNNED by the technical mastery shown here, I'm starting this kit right now with folded rotor and tail, and I'm using these pics as a guide 🙂
Congratulations Fernando, this is a masterpiece!!!

Hola Federico, muchas gracias por tus palabras. La verdad fue un desafío grande, y estuve casi un año trabajando en él. Hay que tener mucha paciencia y superar los desafíos que te plantea la maqueta. Si usas el rotor Reskit vas a tener que trabajar con los conectores para que las palas queden en la posición de descanso. Cuentame como va tu proyecto y me avisas para ver los progresos. Un abrazo
17 August, 22:45
![](/profiles/img/88191-191-s.jpg)
Hi Fernando and thanks for the tip! I'm actually waiting for the reskit rotor to hit my mailbox 😄 I'll keep an eye on what you said, thank you so much.
cheers! 🙂

Excellent paint and decals, always a big fan of the light blue/Gulf orange paint schemes.
14 August, 23:18
![](/profiles/img/18207-254-s.jpg)
@Ray I agree, this scheme is my favourite. I have just been gifted the decals for the orange version from the 2011 Macou GP so will be building that one too at some point.
@George thank you
15 August, 21:13

Thanks mates for the kind words and compliments and likes. The kit was a straightforward build and I plan on building another one soon
17 August, 19:17
![](/profiles/img/81868-676-s.jpg)
Great work mate! How did you find the fit of the parts. Would you say it's Tamiya level?
17 August, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/18207-254-s.jpg)
@Swapnil, fit of the parts was good. I have a small concern over the right side door/air intake but that could be down to user error. I will know more on the next build.
Part count was low with the engine bay being almost a single moulding so it is more a painting exercise rather than a building challenge. Moulding was good though

I really like your idea. I had a similar one with cyclists, soldiers on foot, etc. that I wanted to call "And you call this Blizkrieg?"
16 August, 22:04
![](/profiles/img/74895-710-s.jpg)
Thank you! I finally entered these items, though I do not recall specifically how I planned to use them in the diorama. I know that there was going to be a wrecked tank and either a StuG or a couple of Grille SPG moving past.

Is it me or is everyone who builds aircraft models getting a little tired of new EXPENSIVE kits that have many decal options but never seat harnesses forcing you to go to the aftermarket to make another expensive purchase?! Honestly 80% of the aftermarket brass for aircraft isn’t necessary and most of the time never seen especially in 1:72 scale. I started making my own harnesses from tape or wine bottle lead and the results are as good as expensive aftermarket items. Just a thought because most new kits claim to be the latest and greatest of everything. I seem to recall the same sentiments from the 80’s and 90’s about Hasagawa and Tamiya kits which STILL are some of the best out there

I've seen the after market kits sell for more than the model kit.
As you say once the cockpit is enclosed you see very little of it.
I had a photo etch part that didn't fit correctly n made job more difficult...it was on the side of the seat, had to cut corner off, it could have easily been moulded in as part of seat brace.
In some areas it works well, it's fun to make your own parts too, the foil of a hot chocolate lid works good for belts n thin metal parts.
17 August, 21:16
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
If those pricey AM parts are being bought by people, and it keeps the hobby alive for me and others, I don't mind them being out there 😉
