Hi Bob
Back end looks nice and busy. Soldering is a dark art to me so well done for what looks like a neat job.

Bob. Very nice

No pictures of the wheels! I'm heart broken. I live for pictures of tank wheels. My life will never be the same not knowing what your wheels look like. LOL

Awesome work on the back end. Lovely tidy work

[Steve Brodie]

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Steve, I'll take a pic later just for you.

I'm running late Bob, but it's looking great so far.

I tried my hand at soldering some PE the other day. Let's just say CA is the lesser of two evils for me :smiling5:

Fine work there Bob. Very clean and tidy despite all of the cutting.

[Mr Bowcat]

Thanks guys.

First of all, here ya go Steve, fill your boots mate.

I think I've decided to paint the wheels and lower part of the hull and get the wheels and sprockets installed sooner rather than later. Looking at how delicate the PE is I think it will be impossible to fit the running gear after the tin work is fitted.

Tonight I only managed to get one front mudguard done. I soldered one bit then gave up and resorted to CA.

Evening Bob.
Those wheels give me nightmares, so many of them.
Think those front guards look the business. I've yet to try solder, the fumes put me off, so don't blame you resorting to CA.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning guys,

I've been working on the tin work some more, both front and rear mudguards are now complete and I have finished one of the side skirts. This went together fairly well, I was just careful to make sure all the angles were the same before gluing the pieces together (I didn't dare try to solder these).



I also glued on some more of the Zimmerit, annoyingly the side pieces were too short. I vaguely thought about trying to heat them up in hot water and stretch them, but they are so thin I though they might break, so instead I cut each one and will fill in the missing Zimm with putty. It hopefully wont be too noticeable once the tow cables, etc. are on.
