Trying my hand at restorations

[Bob/Ohio]

Being winter time, I have had sometime to try doing a couple restorations. The Jeep was just a repaint, and the Hatra loader was put together from two junk ones.

The Hatra looks great Bob

Great looking models. Keep having fun.

They're both very nicely finished, have you got anymore underway?

[Bob/Ohio]

Thanks for the comments. I have a few more to do, but trying to match paint is hard, and new decals are not avaliable for all models. I like restoring ones that are in really bad shape, like these two were. Not sure what is next, but I will find something.

A couple of good models there Bob. The Hatra does look good, very factory finish to it, you should do a few more heavy equipment models to keep it company.

Thanks Kevin,
If I do another piece of heavy equipment, I hope it doesn't have a loader on it like the Hatra. I took all the pins out of this one and took all the arms and bucket completely apart, to replace broken pieces, not fun!

I imagine it was a bit like a Chinese puzzle then.

Hi Bob,

once you started to restore models you wont stop again
Nice restaurations especially the Hatra.

Here is a M8 Guy Warrior transport that was in my junk pile. Trailer was too far gone to restore, so it became a custom.
