Nice work Dave, but I think the pics is a bit too small, would love to see some large pictures.

Dave

Bummer, one of these days I got to figure this out.

Dave, I will work on this and see if I can get a true upload on these pics.

Dave

I too think the same about the size of the pic's. But it does look good though.

Cliff

Very nicely done.

OK Guys,

One more time. I went back and noticed I uploaded the pics that I down-sized for N54. Dummy, forgot to re-size before uploading.

Hi Dave ...........Nice work, it's coming along nicely. I always wanted to do a Steyr myself and seeing your photo's really has me contemplating that very idea right now. The "radio car " is an excellent choice because there's so much you can do to it with accessories. Have you ever seen the Steyr "Radio Car " that Francois Verlinden did, in one of his book's ? ( I can't recall which "Building Military Vehicles " volume it was ) It's really awesome and chuck full of equipment ( AM accesories ) !
One thing ......... I see you like to add your AM accessories while building, and then paint it all together ( unless that's just for fitting purpose ). As I rather paint my accessories and then add them in................but hey, we all have our own preferences and you do what your most comfortable with
I hope you will post some new pic's when your Steyr is finished. I really would
like to see them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !

MERRY CHRISTMAS ! (:-)

The pictures are really big now and the model looks great. Really good job on the engine. We will be able to see it, though, won't we?

Nice work Dave, the entire kit looks great. Do you plan to do the wiring for the radios? If so, what reference do you have? I have been trying to find some reference for radio wiring but haven't had any luck.
Nice work,
Andrew

Guys, cool replys!

Ralph, yes the idea of painting is piece by piece. The picts are jsut showing the fitting for the pictures. So, I will be painting these and fitting them later.

Nic, yes you will see the engine as I plan to have the hood open. With working hinges.

Andrew, yes (again, shee-it, I sound like a "yes" man....) I plan to add the wirering. I ahve the WWP and a couple of other German books and a couple of photos (old war shots) that are for refernce. The general creativity of my head is the real source.

Looks great so far cdave. I just started that same conversion myself. I'm having fun with it so far. How did you know how long to make your desk legs? I didn't find any reference for the height of the desk tops. I'm assuming that we just have to kind of guess?

This thing looks great so far. I can't wait to see it painted. Great job.

Patrick

looks great. esp the engine.

Hi Dave looking good so far ...I was wondering about this Verlinden kit ..how is the fit ?? I'm tired of paying for stuff that doesn't fit...Is it worth the money?? Keep up the good work !!

Rick

Rick,

The back radio sets are from Verlinden. I ahve modified the placement to my own desire.

The front is another resin company's engine set. The PE is Aber's joyous hell! :-)

Dave

Okay now you got me intrigued !!! Who makes the engine?? Much more interested in that than the radios ..I'm worried about building this kit and seeing nothing behind the mesh ...showing that there isn't a motor inside.. Keep up the great work

Rick

man that looks great very nice work

Bender

Nice work Dave, looking forward to seeing the finished product.
