Hi have done a bit more.
Had a look at the hull and as how our all knowing oracle/guru "doesn't really have anything important wrong with it".
Well I've put some of the missing details on.
Added 49 rivets per side and 10 bolt heads for the rear idler mount.
Measured out position for the rivets.
Thanks for stopping by.

Cracking detail work Pete. I'd love to be working at that kind of level one day.
Do you have a tool for making the rivets & bolts? I often wonder how you guys do it.

Nice work Pete :thumb2:
Pete apologies for intruding on your thread.
Andy - believe most use a punch and die set to punch out small circles of plasticard
G
Ah, thanks.
I wondered if you chaps were cutting slices off styrene rod or something like that. Punching out sounds more feasible.
G
That’s the method that used to be used before the widespread availability of modellers’ punch-and-die sets (and probably still is by people who don’t have one).

Hi got the floor in, adding side floor rivets, added rear to seat frame, seat cushion, rear gearbox lever, radio, instrument panel, front tans cover, rear hull panel.
Thank you for looking in.
Pete.

Sorry I'm late, took the wrong exit.
Nice introduction on the beast, those photos reminded me off the Annual Rabble Outing to Margate, when Steve lost his trousers ( least said about that the better )
Pete, beautiful work, glad it's passing muster !
I'll sit at the back, brought my own biscuits.
