Looking very good Andrew. One would never know that you were new to etch.

Thanks Peter, although I think when it comes to folding it, it might get interesting, especially with the more complicated pieces!

Hi all

So I've started on the trickier bits of the PE.

On the whole it's gone well, if slowly. The only major error was on my part not paying attention on which way round a box should go. I can't have it the way shown on the PE instructions as it's not quite square, meaning you lose the effect of the handles a bit..

Also, as I'd built completed most of the build before I found the PE so I won't be using all of it and had to be a bit creative with some of the other pieces.

All comments welcome for better of worse as usual.

Thanks Si but actually this is my first time out with PE on this scale...pretty pleased with it on the whole.

Thanks Tim. Although I'm not holding my breath as I still have quite a way to go.

I also invested in one of these a know I was going to have a go at more PE in the future and it certainly helped for the larger pieces. I know some people don't use them but I found it invaluable.

Thanks again.

Now that is very neat and tidy p.e work.
I don't use the stuff, but I like what I see here.
Tidy bending!

The etch is very tidy Andrew, I still can't get mine that good!

Thanks for the support. To be honest I'm not sure If I'll become a big time user of it in the future, given that I don't normally dabble in this scale but given the reason for the GB, I thought 'Why not?'

Here's hoping the rest of it turns out ok!

Andrew,
Lovely PE work very neatly done.

Thanks Paul. To be honest I was surprised how well it's gone so far, given it's the first time I done any major work with it.

The etch is very tidy Andrew, I still can't get mine that good!

Thanks Graeme. Much appreciated. A cynical person might think I only showed you the best bits!! :smiling5: I've done a bit more since - mainly the storage box latches and they were a lot more tricky.....:cold-sweat:


Thanks again all.
