Hello ALL! Been a while & haven't had a chance to put-up anything. Still going on the Norton but got side-tracked with fiddly stuff that had been lurking in the background LIKE... 3 Valiant kits that needed various bits & someone put a junker on Beelzebay that solved all my problems with all 3,the big one being a really clean body that I had, but the rear had been chopped off back in the day for the custom type & that's as far as they got, so no rear-end. Here's how it stands now... Also scored a 1/8 '32 for $50 missing the chassis & motor, had a spare motor & an original unbuilt chassis to take a template from... The small chassis is a'34 to show size. Both (chassis & Valiant) need a small amount of work to finish them off, but that will happen when/if they're ever built?!! Finally the Norton progress... Wheels re-laced, engine/frame almost done, tank & armour finished. TA!...hope you're ALL GOOD Fellas?!

Nice job on the Valiant ; you'd never know it was chopped up ! Those AMT annuals really had a hard life, with all those custom bits and plenty of decals I'm sure most ended up as gaudy looking customs ! The one I restored had the custom front and rear treatment , but luckily, the original builder used more filler putty than glue so the plastic was not damaged. I'm looking forward to see how you make out !

..Yours was quite exceptional Don. You'd done a GREAT job bringing it back from the dead!
