Dang cool Sprue One.
Now that is different. Neat project! Well done.
Buddy, that mini is an ambitious build! But I know you’ll make it look fantastic.
SprueOne,
I have to admit that I was kind of puzzled when I saw the picture of the base earlier. Seeing the finished build I had to laugh and thought it was kind of awesome. Congratulations on being the first one to finish. Which pic would you like for the front page?
I love the theme for that toon tank. Great job Sprue!
scottrc, Dang cool Sprue One.
Thank you for the compiiment
Caveman, Now that is different. Neat project! Well done.
Thanks!
Lewbud, Haha, thanks. I guess it would be this one.
Mopar Madness, I love the theme for that toon tank. Great job Sprue
Thank you.
Now that’s a little cutie Sprue
Well, build one is in the books. With only ten min. to spare. This one needed more work than I thought. Sorry for the pics. but my cave is too dark and I can’t get the color shifting paint to show very well. I will try taking better pics. when the sun is up.

Things are still drying so I dare not touch it yet. This one was close! I will get a front page worthy pic. to you tomorrow.
Caveman, very impressive finish in just 48 hours.

Tim,
Nice job on the Lightning! When everything is dry, take a pic for the front page.
Sprue - So COOL!! I wish I had a toon tank to ride when I was a kid!! Love your out-of-box thinking for this display of the little Somua! TBH, I was wondering what that “thing” was sticking out from the side of the base and also the screw “thingies” on top!! Bravo!!
Caveman - Wow! Impressive…I wouldn’t thought a car model could be completed in 48 hrs, but you’re the MAN! I love the color of the Lightning and the interior detail! Kudos!!
Lewbud - Looks like the Mini Cooper is coming along nicely! Purple roof? Hmmm…[:^)] Dying to see what the finished kit will look like!!
Well, I’ll be out of town starting tomorrow and will most likely be out of touch with the GB. I’ll check progress of everyone on my cellphone, but I hate typing on that little thing!! Gotta wait until I get back to my PC next week!
Happy Thanksgiving all!!
That’s a really cool finish on that Lightning!
That was quite a feat to accomplish in 48 hrs Cave.
Good work!
Indeed, and thanks for the compliment. Happy Thanksgiving.
My hobby time is mostly spent on my model railroad but I’ve dabbled in some scale models. This is my first post here. Been lurking on the forum for a few days and decided to sign up. Took a few minutes to figure out what’s going on in this thread but it’s awesome. You guys are quick. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest! Great work so far. Very cool.

Love the WWT Somua, Sprue! Gamera mention he might start a GB Easter for Eggs. Might be interesting. Love the creativity.
Nice job, Caveman! Love the paint. If I tried it, fingerprints would be everywhere.
To quote the great Texas singer (and softball coach) Meatloaf “Two out of three ain’t bad.” The Mini is still in the garage due to the poor time management of the project foreman. However, she is still in the queue and should be done in the next couple of days. Picking up from where we last left off.
I finally completed a subassembly. You take your victories where you can.
The body is painted.
Painted body with the roof mock up.
The front end.
The rear suspension. Yes it is that minimal on the real thing.
The rear seat and roll bar installed.
Driver’s seat installed.
Glass is in place, roofcap is glued on, body mocked up on chassis.
When I left for work this evening, I had just painted the engine and the subframe that supports it. I’m also going to leave the fender flares off because I broke one trying to paint it (don’t ask). All that remains is finishing the engine, front suspension and a few interior bits and she’ll be done. Who’s next?
Lewbud, Super clean build up so-far.
Thank you. An Easter Egg GB sounds like great fun.
Hi Ted and welcome to the forums. I should have 4 days of almost uninterrupted building time (the only advantage of being away from my family) I will be starting the Bat Pod tomorrow and hopefully the Challenger II on Friday night or Saturday.
