Hi Jim,
I think I have handled the only piece that isn't fiddly already, The lid of the box .

Sharp knife, gentle touch and CA debonder goes a long way.
if you are totally new to resin kits, be careful of the dust. Not good for your lungs.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the advice mate, when i first tried resin figures i found some of them had a distinct chemical which tended to sound alarm bells, so invested in a M3 mask and did some research on a bit of H&S . I think i do need to invest in some debonder, as much for my " Shakey Jake " hands as anything. Thanks again matey for the sound advice.

Nice just seen this one, those spokes do look fiddly.

Afternoon chaps
Just found out 4D model shop stocks debonair, as I pass close by on my daily exercise walk and they are open Saturdays, I can pick some up tomorrow. Then hopefully push on a bit this W/E.

Hi papa,
fitting them is more precarious than fiddly because where they sit is either very narrow or not there at all so if I am not careful they could end up tilted and that would throw off the the little axle.

Hello Richard
Hope you are keeping well sir. Frankly mate , patience isn't a strong point of mine hence one reason why I chose this kit. Hopefully I can make a fist of it and exorcise my abject fear of PE. So many modern kits are awash with Brass and I feel I am missing out on some great builds by dodging one of the ingredients. Let's hope it works .

Hi all,
Been missing for a little while, one of our moggies as been in the wars, had three pretty bad problems all at once poor little chap. In vet hospital twice, hopefully he is on the mend now.
So back to the bench with T W trike. Completed the wheels, spokes and axles fitted. Now making a start on cleaning up the main chassis parts. Going to need some very delicate sanding on those little PE parts, I might have left to much at the fixing points, will have to find a way to reduce that in future.
Sorry little bit gig, have not got to grips with my new phone yet..after 3 weeks 😀, I'll reduce the next one.
Chassis cleaned up and fitted the rear wheel and left side fork, which snapped as I was trying to insert the mud guard. Not sure if this is a problem with the kit or me...but had to shave down the edges carefully to get it to fit. The fork that snapped was easily repaired with some CA and a little piece of the wheel central casting wafer used as a shim.

Sorry again uploaded by mistake??
so that is as far as I have got at the moment, all comments welcomed and appreciated.
Just a little sympathy catcher. Here is a snap of Ollie after returning from his first vetinary hospital stay. What started as Conjunctivitis moved to his nose and mouth.

Poor little chap got worse, but is out of trouble now and back home thankfully 😄.
