Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

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.

Square, pragmatic, great! 👍

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

gorby

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 👍

Spanjaard
fantastic job gorby

Greg Baker
Lovely!

Duster_d
Cool armored car! 👍

John Hughes
Didn't the A-Team build that in a shed once? Nice job, gorby!

David Taylor
Another nice build Gorby.

Mick Burdett
Great build love the rivets. How you do that?

Mr D
Amazing the way it's built up from scratch, Nice work 👌👍👍

gorby
Thanks mates for your lovely comments. 🙂
Mick: The description on Photo number 13 explains the rivety skin.

Kesa Tiho
Bloody lovely. The wait was worth it

Cortex
Beautiful build, thoughts on the kit?

Alberto Traverso
thank you Cortex, the kit has good details, clear instructions, fit is very good, really nice kit, I would buy it again.
Kit includes PE parts, 3D printed parts, clear parts, only thing I will replace are the tow cables (kit original part is a string)

Cortex
Thank you for the feedback!

Alberto Traverso
👍

Kirill K.
Good👌

Alberto Traverso
thanks 👍

I looked at these masks but ended up buying some really cheap circle stencils. They work quite well if you make sure you use the right stencil and line it up well.
