Armortek

Progress has been slow, but I like to take my time. This is my first Armortek model, built almost entirely on the coffee table. No, not always a popular location choice!

HI Simon
making great progress on your 222 ,looking very nice keep posting you have got some great company on the 222 site ,i do like this model maybe one day .
all the best ,,,,,,,,,,nick

Looks great. What are you using to fill the joints?. I was looking at one recently but thought the gaps might be difficult to fill.

Hello Nick
Oh yes, there's 222's here that are way out of my league, but it is a great model to work on, and a nice size.
Hi John
The body work is steel, once the overlaps were filed down, I placed the body with loose screws on the glass coffee table top to get a flat 'square' base to ensure alignment, then I glued the joints where they met, screwing it all together tight. The gaps that were left I filled with JB Weld. Once that was all set, I skimmed over the entire body work with Isopon P38, sanded with a sanding block, and repeated several times, as you would with a full size car. It all went together very well.

Thanks for that. looks great. Well done.

A little more progress....

What can I say! Stunning.

Great looking 222. I'm starting to like these little armoured cars.

Beautiful machine! Nice work!
