This is so far out of my comfort zone. I take my hat off to you for attempting this let alone doing it to such a high standard. A joy to watch:thumb2:

Cheers, Mike.

Update,
Finished off the fan housing today.

Added one of the modified side racks but cemented it in the wrong place hence the glue line. Once this is cleaned up I will then add the rest of the framework for it.
Started work on the gas bottle rack that fits on the right side of the door...

The lower left pic is wher I am tonight. Tomorrow will finish off the centre section, then the top, and last the centre upright. But in the centre 'U' section just visible in the real pic, there is a sort of double bent triangle to fit which has the restraining nut fitted. That is all marked out ready, but the eyes need a rest...
Cheers.
Mike.

Mike,
Your eye for detail is incredible and having the skills to make it a reality is something else.

Update,
So to carry on... Today went well after playing nurse to her who must... who at the moment is bedridden with a chest infection, :sick:, had the dogs out on a good walk:thumb2:. Then got down to the serious stuff and finished of the gas bottle rack. I am undecided at the moment about putting the bottles on the rack or leaving it empty, or even just one bottle. The clamp will then be added, and then I will move onto the finishing details like doors etc.

Now off to raid the fridge, I seem to remember she left some goodies in there - cannot let good food go to waste. :tongue-out3: Thanks for looking, more later.
Cheers, Mike.

Hi Scottie,
I was thinking about the same earlier today. I can remember making models way back and to touch brass, aluminium etc was in a way frowned upon, wood was used for a base everything else was either scratch built or did not happen. And as I say thinking about it today and now that I am retired and the practice of using brass today is accepted in all forms is a bit like a kid with the key to the candy shop. Making it a reality I can thank my short time working in the petro-chemical industry and BAe as a mock up modelmaker where you were given a brief. a set of drawings, went to work and then ironed out the problems as you went along. But I lay no claims to being an expert, my rubbish bin over the years has been full of failures...
But thanks for boosting my ego - now how do i widen this door....
Mike.

That rack is a thing of beauty. I wish I could be as accurate as you Mike. More practice on my part I suppose.:sad-face:
