For Swishy, KWS2 1/16th scale

OK swishman, have a look here and tell me what's wrong with this lot so far.

It aint finished yet by a long shot, but the fella that's scratch-building the cab, is working to the original drawings from Seattle, so the finished size should be about spot on.

What say's you ?

regards greenie

ps, of all things, it's a bloody Kiwi who just happened to pull his finger out and start to build the mighty " S " model. He's getting plenty of help from this side of the ditch, so can only hope he keeps going.

G'day swishy, nope, not mine, it's a Kiwi who's doin' it, not to bad a job so far, eh.

Why not wait until the quarter guards are finished, then put it on the " S " model site ?

I wonder if he's seen this one that Danny Turner has already built in 1/25th. Danny is also a master model builder....the guys who help make the things from scratch so we can build the kits.

Hi Swishy, I haven't heard from the fella in NZ for ages, he has a large workload to get thru, as he runs a farm.

When I do hear something/anything, I'll let you know.

Oh, that model 'werk' swiped of your site and posted, an excellent detailed description of why it's NOT an 'S' model, so I wont add any more, eh. :

regards greenie [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]

i'm no modeller but i reckon the fella who made it has done a fair AND RECOGNISABLE job of it...considering you can't buy one off the shelf...to whomever it is ..keep up the good work

cheers
