Nice, I like the chipping, a well used vehicle. Pantherman

Thank you. This is a fun build.

 

[Pantherman]

That is nice! I am lagging behind but getting there.

I like it. Pantherman

I like your take on the kit.
You're not laging behind, you're taking your time. I think models are not a race.
I still have lots of little things to add.

The only reason I'm slightly ahead is that being off work I have so much more time. I am feeling like retirement just can't arrive quickly enough for me. Pantherman

Man that's the truth. I have until December 31 2024 for retirement. I thought maybe I'll stay to the end of January 2025.
I kind of wanted to stay 3 to 6 more months of '25, but it really wouldn't make much difference to my pension.

So, adios Harris County

Is anyone using the back tarp-stowage thing?

I thought I saw it on Pantherman's build.

I might sure if I want to use it or not. So with that in mind I might put it on but not cement it.

 

[Bear43]

I am planning to use it.

Yes. Pantherman

 

[Pantherman]

Little bit more done. I think I might slightly weather this one but still haven't really made my mind up yet. I have a few extras for this build so it will probably take me a little longer to finish. Pantherman

Well I'm getting close now to finishing old Pinky but I have a few little extras to sort out and the sand weathering. Pantherman

 

[GaryG64]

Yes. Pantherman

That looks great!

You are too kind. I'm really liking this joint building we do, so much more fun.Pantherman

Well, I decided to reveal the mystery. We often wonder what our brothers look like.
This is when I was working on our Adam-12 build.

Well I think I'm going to keep the mystery going........and I don't want to break the screen by taking a selfie .

The tiny kitty is cute

 

[Bear43]

That is Bruiser. She was born prematurely and was the only one of her litter to survive.

All I have left are the guns, the paint is drying.

So, this is where I am.
I weathered the best I could.

It looks really good, loving the weathering on it. Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

That looks amazing. You do very well on making vehicles look heavily used.

Work has been eating up my time but tonight I did get the Dark Green base coat on. I just did a light coat and tomorrow I will follow on with the pink.

I realized this morning that I missed drilling out the holes on the front for those two bits that go next to the turn signals. I studied those instructions when drilling out the others and just missed those two holes completely.

Not a problem just cut the studs off the lights/tool's and stick them on. Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

Yep, that's what I was planning to do.
