You haven't lost the crowbar you have just put it in a safe place which you will discover in about six months time LOL

Excuse me Simon .
Yes Steve along with everything else that you've mislaid :smiling2: and some things you didn't even realise you'd lost !

[Guest]

Simon .
Sorry about the hinges not working , here at the ST apprecation society we are most surprised with this bombshell .
The rest looks stunning .

[SimonT]

filled the large mounting slots for the kit parts with square plastic strip, trimmed back and then made a start on the rear flaps

Simon
All looking great.

A thought just occurred to me: are you going to build 1:1 scale ammunition for this one too?

[SimonT]

Thanks Scottie - getting there, slowly

Jakko - now that would be an impressive display piece, especially if weighted. A length of HDPE gas main might make a good starting point, or an old chimney pot :thinking:

Jakko , please don't encourage Simon. :nerd::smiling2:

You know they weighed up to about 375 kg, right?

Shouldn’t be too hard:

A length of 37.5 cm diameter pipe with a nose cone and a few bands added, and you’re pretty much there …

You do realise Simon may well attempt this now you've provided the instructions, as for a propellant I shudder to think, newts blood or bat. !

Hi Simon
Very fine looking rear end.
Jim

[SimonT]

:thinking:......may have to reinforce the floor......

[SimonT]

Not done much as kept falling asleep again


did manage to finish assembling the rear track flaps


and I made a start on making a new crane based on photos in the Ryton book

[Steve Jones]

Nice work Simon. Was the kit crane pretty bad or just inaccurate?
