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 👍

Gary Curling
l Can see all hard work looking good.

CaptGPF
Thanks Gary! Almost done with the finishing touches after the cat tried to test out the strength of the landing gears!

Mike K
I'll be damned.You put lights in it?

CaptGPF
LOL! Yes indeed! It would not do this bird justice with anything less! 😜

Alexander
Great job, especially with the lights and limelights! 👍
Will keep some of things in mind here for future work.

Spanjaard
excellent job. the lighting certainly makes is pop even more!

Ben M
Looks great, the lighting is cool. You clearly overcame some real challenges on this build, kudos to you!

Mr James
Beautiful shading work with lots of excellent prep work. Impressive paintjob. The light is a lovely touch

Robert Podkoński

Fantastic result Capt!

Alexander / Spanjaard / Ben / Robert / Mr James and Gorby - Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot coming from the guys who are always putting out great builds that inspire me!

Mr D - yes, I used a rechargeable 9V battery - amazon.com/gp/produc..le?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This has a micro-usb charging port at the other end so I attached a micro-usb extender cable and routed it to the bottom of the Warthog.

I used blinking 3mm and Micro-LEDs for the rest of the kit from Amazon. Some folks use Arduinos or electronic kits, but that's a bit out of my league at this point - so I'll stick with blinking LEDs instead. - Simpler, Easier, and less parts to break. 😀
