Austin Armoured Car Build 1/35 Miniart kit - Part 2 - for the Ukraine

[@JeffDonahueScaleModeling]

Great video Bob! I had to go dig out my directions and make some notes. I also added some 0.3MM brass rod to my shopping list. Everything looks great. I like all the little problems you brought to our attention. It should make building this much easier. Thanks for the tutorial on the rivets. I am going to make my own, with my punch set. One thing I did when I was practicing with the rivets is to wait a while for the glue to dry and then go around them with a fiberglass pencil it easily removes any glue residue. Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching for the final reveal. Have a great day. Jeff

Cheers Jeff, the rivets were fairly straight forward so long as you have an optimiser to see them. 👍🍻

Hi Bob this build is turning out pretty well lots of details on that kit good job adding the rivets 👍

[@greybeardmodels]

Thanks Seamy, it’s been great fun. It’s excellent value for money given the amount of detail 👍🍻

[@greybeardmodels]

Thanks I’m very pleased with it so far. Amazing details for 1/35 scale. 👍🍻

Hi Bob , really enjoyed the process of riveting mate , this armored stuff is a lot trickier than I thought, noticing parts are alot smaller than 1/350 battleships! Also the planning! Sounds like you need a beer for that persistent cough😂😂😂😂 have a good one💙💛

[@greybeardmodels]

Thanks, I’m all for the beer mate 🤣👍 yes these kits are great fun 🤩 Cheers Bob 🍻

[@fritzschumacher6047]

I've been trying to build this. I'm ready to give up. I'm not an engineer and a lot of these parts are tiny and if they're not in perfectly at a 90 degree angle, the next ones won't fit.

[@fritzschumacher6047]

Yours looks so good. Mine is pathetic. I couldn't get the dashboard to fit on the motor with enough room for the floor or the following seat assembly. I give up. A big waste of money and a big disappointment. No other company make things like this and this is a big interest for me.

[@greybeardmodels]

That’s a shame that it has caused disappointment for you 😢I have had similar experiences in my kit builds over the years. I’m sure you will have more success on the next build. Good luck 👍
