Thanks for your 'likes', mates. I'm hunting for kits first....

Welcome, Robert, this is going to be challenging...

Welcome, John. Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone. I'm going to try to add more small extras, based on the photos. Two fire extinguishers on the outside of the storage bin, driver's wing mirror, spot lights.... Let's see how this goes 🙂

Some more progress..... thinking about undercoat, pre-shading, highlights , etc.

Lots added, and tracks installed, so the deck now fitted to the hull too. Decals added, so more piccies soon. I'd like to try to make the driver's mirror, and cages for the front lights.... Oh, and weathering....and make some shackles too......Still to find a recovery vehicle, so plenty still to do.

What's next, a scammel?
20 August 2023, 19:56
Bruce Huxtable
Indeed, Ben. A recovery vehicle will be the minimum, but it would be good to have a few figures too.

There's some great wwii recovery vehicle training videos on YouTube.

Thanks for the tip, Ben. I'll check them out.

Welcome, James I've ordered a Scammell tank transporter, so the next phase will start soon..... I still have no idea how they spilled a tank off and managed to flip the trailer too!

Many thanks, Walton. My motivation comes from the old family photos 🙂

This kit was one of my first AFVs and seeing how much you improved it by adding these details is impressive and it gives me a nostalgic feeling. Great build so far

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your encouraging comments, Ahmet. I need to make some small shackle for cables too, so let's see how things progress. I too have re-made a few kits that I made many, many years ago, and enjoyed them all over again (hopefully a little better this time around!).

Well done, Bruce! It turned out to be a great Comet!

Many thanks, Oleg. There's always room for improvement🙂

I have now started the Airfix Scammell transporter. Lot's of flash on some of the sprues, which is expected. A few circular recesses to fill, but also several raised circular lumps to neatly remove.... The over-simplified cab needs a few levers and door handles. I'll upload piccies as things progress, but I need to do some research first.....
10 September 2023, 21:51
Bruce Huxtable
Lots of filling and sanding to be done, before anything more can be glued....

Ralf Topeters
Looks great. I'm excited about the outcome! 👍
16 September 2023, 09:06
Bruce Huxtable
Welcome, Ralf. I need to prepare lots of parts today, before any further assembly, plus scratch building of driver.'s controls (fingers crossed...)
16 September 2023, 09:10
Ralf Topeters
You just hit my area of interest and your build looks very resourceful!
16 September 2023, 09:16
Bruce Huxtable
Welcome, Marc. Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone. I hope you like the driver's controls, Ralf. No PE anywhere 😉

I'm looking forward to preparing the trailer's wheels, and lots of detail painting on the whole rig.
21 September 2023, 12:55
Bruce Huxtable
Welcome, Petr. Not too much assembly to finish, then comes painting...

Right at picture 101, it looks a bit like a ford 32 hot rod !!!! 😅

Guy Rump
Lovely builds Bruce. 👍
21 September 2023, 19:10
Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Guy. Slowly but surely, I think things are heading in the right direction.....
21 September 2023, 20:53
Bruce Huxtable
It would be tempting to obtain another of these, just to try some modifications, Walton 😉 It's crying out for a tall, shiny exhaust stack too! And then there's the paint job.....
21 September 2023, 20:55
Walton
Poor scamel !!! 😅

Welcome, Michael - more progress planned for the weekend 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone. It's starting to look as intended, so only a few last things to do.

You're not going to have the comet rolled over?
22 October 2023, 18:52
Bruce Huxtable
I'll have to make a suitable base, Ben. But not sure about having no figures.... suggestions?
22 October 2023, 19:55
Ben M
Oh yes… and the airfix 1/76 infantry wouldn't fit well here. Maybe something could be 3d printed…

Fantastic work, congrats!

I think my creativity could be over-stretched, Ben.....

Album info

Photos of an accident in Italy, during WW2. Somehow, a Comet tank fell off a transporter.... I think the trailer in the photos is a 40 ton trailer.
