Looking good Bob,

Have you an update on your brass tubing? I’m gonna need a load for my DH9...

Hello Guy,
 I have just this minute ordered some Griffon 0.5 tube from Aus. Should be with me in 10 to 15 days. I will drop you a message when the goodies arrive.
Cheers,
Bob  ;)

I'm gutted I didn't make the finishing line, but work still goes on with the Tripe.

PC10 sprayed over a Dark Yellow/Desert Yellow base.

I will need to make a few corrections on the top decking, mainly filler work, but nothing to cry over.

This build is my tribute to Des and by hook or crook I intend to honour his memory with a completed build. Thy will be done!

   Brilliant little aid to the mixing requirement von B! I recently discovered the plastic "bubble" portion of the package my new "ears" batterys are supplied in provide the same clean and easy throwaway solution to mixing small amounts of paint.

     

   Like your solution the price is certainly right. Great looking Tripe and I know it will be completed!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you, Lance and Rick!  ;)

Hey Lance, these plastic spoons come in packs of 50 and all for the cost busting sum of one solitary £.
And they are reusable many times over. Just wipe, add some thinner and wipe clean, then, you're ready to go again.

Cheers,
vB  :)

I am really pleased that you are continuing with this one Bob. I too have missed the deadline (but I have dedicated my Gunbus to him), but like you I too want to respect his memory and intend to finish.

Your tripehound is looking very good - will be worth waiting for the pictures of the finished model.
