4wd Build

[dwarfy]

Thought I would start a new thread for this
Guess whats in the box :w00t::celebrate::celebrate:





















All looks like the usual quality gear from FG and the instructions are clear so should go together easy enough. Going to get some tea then might get the tools out........

 

[dwarfy]

BTW I am not building this in Assad's house before you start :lol::lol: That is the lovely 80's velour and original curtains in my 24yr old motorhome

I think if we all had shares in FG, we'd be millionaires at this rate!
Everyone's on burnout before 2112-2012 I reckon!!

Not one with eagle eyes ..... was that a plastic engine mount? .......

Fair play to Rossendale Models for doing me a good price again. They matched the delivered cost from Hobbythek & Pitstop and I had £85 in rossmods vouchers to put towards it from my birthday (family usually buy me a bottle but told em just to get me a tenner voucher instead!) which made it more affordable!
