Well Jim I have been watching since the beginning and am amazed at the trials and tribulations of the build from the bits that did not fit and the way you got around them to the good days when you seem to jump ahead that I could not keep up.brava
This is one amazing build well done look forward to some more photo's when you can get it outside to take them.
Dare I say "What is next"

More finished photos
Thanks again for all the 'likes' and comments.
My next project will either be a diecast 1961 F1 Ferrari or a BR18 Locomotive (wood and metal)
But before I start another one I'm going to try and organize my work room....right now it looks like a warehouse without any kind of storage discipline....
Here are some outside shots.....please forgive any fuzziness as I went from 76 degrees and 50% humidity to 86 degrees and 95% humidity to shoot the pics.
Cheers,
Jim

Very, very nice, Jim. You've done yourself proud (again).
This has been a great ride. I've enjoyed it immensely.
Looking forward to your next project, too.... Steve

Looks Fantastic Jim. What a ride it was too. I look forward to you next one. I like both your choices. I understand the Model room reset. Sometimes we get so into the build there are tools and scraps and stuff everywhere. Have fun getting everything ready for the next build.

Grant,
Yes it is...seems we have pretty similar tastes is selection of kits.
I think I'll be doing the Ferrari first. It's a relatively simple diecast kit that I got on sale at Model Expo. Having never done a diecast kit I thought it would be interesting. The kit is from Revival, an Italian Company. I found a 2005 date in the box so the kit has been in a warehouse somewhere for a while. The instructions are 4 copied pages with picture diagrams and no dialogue or parts list. Looks like a good finish on the painted body parts but the diecast parts will require a lot of trim to fit. Lots of splash and mold marks.
In a nutshell....probably not worth the money even at the sales price....seems like it was over $100.
Then on to the BR 18 from OcCre......
Cheers,
Jim

I'll look forward to following you with the BR18 Jim. That is on my "one day" list - too many other projects backed up for now. Think I'll start my Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre), as a side build, as soon as my Victory is finished (almost there!).
Cheers,
Grant
