kpnuts Posted May 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2020 Hi all I did this ages ago and sold it to my ex boss, he no longer wants it so I have it back (complete with dust and cobwebs) so I'm going to strip it and do something different with it mtaylor, yvesvidal, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) I corrected loads of faults on this kit and added loads of extra detail (I also respoked the wheels) Edited May 15, 2020 by kpnuts popeye the sailor, yvesvidal, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnieL Posted May 15, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 15, 2020 VERY nicely done. I remember that kit as a kid. Super nice when built, but if I recall, it was super fiddly as well.

kpnuts Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 15, 2020 Very. The original was also motorised (moulding for that and the gears are still in the new one) (when I built the motorised one in my youth it only worked for about 10 feet then stripped the gears) I think that's why it's not motorised now. Accuracy is pretty poor as is the detail but then again it's the only 1/12 version out there.

yvesvidal Posted May 15, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 15, 2020 Interesting model. I can see the re-spoken wheels and it does make a difference. Yves popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
