Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Hey Mats, was the time displayed you local time?

Just a note, the start and end times of the builds are your local time. If you're 5 hours ahead of us that's fine, go ahead and start. It just means we're 5 hours behind you on finishing. :mpup

:popcorn
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

lots of pieces means lots of fun mats! :D

enjoy your journey through this kit, it's an interesting subject!
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

thanks for all the nice words :)
MP the time is not my local time, it's from the MA server and it's 7 hours after our time
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Todays progress, mostly taking care of ejectorpin marks and flash, drilled out the exhaust pipe and also made the front wheels turned a little bit, looks nicer then just pointing straight forward.

Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

No it was rather easy, just had to cut a small pin on the wheel center and then turn it a little, the axle had a ball in the end for the steering spindle but alot of play, so i had to get the thick glue for it to stay in place.
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Here is an update for today, been fighting with parts that is impossible to figure out how they will fit :bang head and tanks and stowage-boxes that were to big (had to sand of about 1mm on the tank before it slipped into place.
Here's the pics, chassi ready for primer and detailing and i started with the cabin.

This kit is a big p.i.t.a! :angry: nothing fits and no guides that shows exactly were the piece is supposed to be, worked on the cabin today and wohoo surprise the doors are 2 mm to long!
Seriously thinking of giving up this one and choose something else instead (a kit 20 years newer for example!!)
Broke off the engine because it was in the way for the cabin :dance

The only thing that looks somewhat good (and that is something that cant be seen)

Well i see what i do, right now i feel like sending this on a one way trip out the window! :D

Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

I can understand the frustration Mats, hang in there, don't get frustrated but if you're not having fun with it...trash it.
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Decided to put it back in the box, some small fixes is one thing but when everything needs to be fixed then it's better to put it away and find something else.
To bad because i really liked this vehicle, see if i can find a new one for this campaign today...
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Thanks Laura, just waiting for Veerle to come home, then we go to Top1toys in Halle and maybe Brussel, i wish someone makes a new release of this vehicle i was really looking forward to building it, The gun looks ok though so that might be still in the campaign :)
 
Re: Bedford QL & 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Its too bad, but I can understand. Hopefully something tweaks your interest at the hobbyshop today.
