It’s also a cracking drop of beer I indulged in on my recent trip to Looe

In that case Mick,
After buying up your fill of Alcohol,i`d imagine you`re STILL THERE?!!:flushed::smiling:

OK Then chaps...........
Here is my progress,it may not look much,but each stage has taken me a little while!! :flushed: ,
I needed to build up the frame for the Genny.......

A bit tricky for a base modeller like me,but i cut down some arcs from 1.5 mm plasticard as frames...Then added some ULTRA thin Plasticard
to try and bend to get the finish i wanted............

Bent over,after gluing to one side.........

Then i added the Vent side sloping bits:smiling: And lastly,for now,the pic of ......:smiling:

So that`s it all together at the mo,needs smoothing out and then some,but it`s certainly on the way!!
Not as great as i was hoping so far,but the wheel chassis is coming on,and this should be ok soon!!Thanks for looking in,
Andy

If that generator comes out as well as the searchlight it will be splendid I am sure, well done with the scratchery.

Getting there Andy. It will come together nicely once you smooth out the joins

Just caught up Andy, lovely scratch building here
The searchlight is awesome, looking good with the trailer too:thumb2::thumb2:

Andy, just had a very enjoyable read through the thread, :surprised::thumb2: . That is amazing work mate. Scratch building on the Searchlight was brilliant, when you test fitted the light to the bogey on page 6, i would think any passing viewer would assume they were looking at a kit from a box. Now onto the Genny too. Will be following along to the final Dio reveal. Excellent work, very impressed .

You've not lost the ability to scratch by the look of things Andy.

The generator is taking shape nicely Andy.

Thanks very much Andy!
It`s proving to be more difficult than the searchlight if i`m honest:thinking:........ but it`ll get there in the end!
