Post by Andy1672 »

just finished spraying and assembling the Indiana Jones troop car.
still needs a logo on the bonnet but I think it looks okish without it :)
camera flash makes the red look very garish !!

8-) Great job Andy, how come yours doesn't look so much like the Trumpton Fire Engine as the proper one does?

Personally, I think it looks loads better without the whacking big :enemy: badge on the bonnet, but I suspect I'm in a tiny minority on that :-(
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

Because mine is full of Shads !!!!!!!!!!!!

still not sure about the logo, If I did it it would have to be a transfer I think.

Brilliant Andy! You could have a little cottage industry going knocking these out in the Forum shop! :-P
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
