I'm in on watching this. A bit late but I'm here.:rolling:

or "STINGRAY". But it is a 1980s resin kit. So maybe it might not be too sharp on quality.

I thought for a start with resin I might go for somethng with not too much detail. Maybe something like this.

There are a couple of resin figures on ebay of her in armour out of China and I remember Airfix did one years ago.

Another superb job. Top Marks on that one, absolutely superb.

I'm always jealous of anyone who can do these figures and busts. That is a superb job, and I like it a lot.

Thanks for all the input people. I think I just need to bite the proverbial bullet and take a shot at one. If I screw it up then I'll just keep qiet about it and move on. Otherwise I'll keep you all posted on what I end up achieving. Take care everyone and stay safe. Peter

Apparently the chassis design by Gerry Anderson was originally taken from a small agricultural tractor.

Hi All, Stupid Question. I have my eye on a resin kit but, I've never built one. Are they more of a challenge ????? and do I need a whole load of new kit to work with it. Take care everyone and stay safe. Peter

That's a cracking build and finish Ron. I like it a lot. Peter

...........and it was all filmed in a warehouse at Feltham. "Thunderbirds are Go".

That's a major build Ian. I really am looking to see the final job. Peter

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I really enjoyed getting back to it. Stay Safe everyone. Peter

Hi All, I started this one a long time ago. Time to get it back out of the box and do something with it.

All done. Straight out of the box............ The only thing I changed was cutting away the bottom of the cylinder skirt to profile with the window so the piston skirt was visible at "bottom Dead Centre". The kit goes together well. But, you need to be careful with what you paint and what you...

Thanks Guys. It's good to be back.

Crankshaft and piston assembly are done. Not sure how well it shows but I've managed some discolouration on the piston skirt, evevery engine I've had apart its always there. Seeing as this is probably a classroom instruction model and has sat on a self you some time, a little surface rust on...
