Started this yesterday and it’s very good thus far…not a subject matter I know much about but that’s half the point really…

A little more blue and white to add to the details but nearly done with this now…it’s a lovely kit though…

Given the state of the world I’ve decided to run a scale model group build and competition in aid of Ukraine. Please spread the word and join in, details of how to enter the competition will be released soon. I’ll set up a feed on here and a facebook page soon. #ForUkraineGB u24.gov.ua

I’m at that ‘tricky, messy’ stage of a commercial vehicle build…at least that’s what I’m telling myself…milk anyone…or alcohol perhaps…reference to the Dr Feelgood track released on white, brown and black vinyl…I have the first two somewhere I think…

I’ve been building for about four years & mostly military stuff…but gradually I’ve been building more of this sort of stuff & really liking it…but I don’t see many others doing the same…I just like the variety & colour I think…& maybe there’s a little more joy and whimsy involved because of this…🤔🤷‍♂️

Started getting some blue and white paint on…

This MiniArt chassis is now built…bit of a fiddle but a nice kit thus far…lots of detail…

Fun but fiddly…🫣…👍

A few of the commercial vehicles I’ve built…currently my favourite genre I guess…I just love the colours and signage…the latter three of these are MiniArt kits and the first an AFV Club kit with my own printed decals…

Anyone who has built a MiniArt truck or two will forgive me this slightly messy start I hope…their kits are lovely but often quite tricky too…🙄

Will be attempting the milk truck version of this MiniArt number but not sure about the blue…so have ordered a couple in…the kit suggests Mr Color 005 but I’m a sucker for SMS so have some ordered to look at too..engine cobbled together today…👍

Sticking with the commercial vehicles I think this will be next up…several gorgeous liveries to pick from too…*scurries off to check paint stocks*…🤔🤞
