Looking good :thumb2:

Well, what can I say that has not been said earlier... You are turning a kit into a museum exhibit of the first order and it is a credit to your patience and skills. Looking forward to more.
Mike.

Thx Mike :smiling3:

This is a splendid build. What's your problem with soldering?

 

[Bri62]

What's your problem with soldering?

I'm ok now I got a decent iron

Brian should be an honorary member of the 'Tidy Bench Club'... :thumb2:

As Chairman of the TBC I can say that he would definitely qualify as a full and valued member.

Very neat, organised work Brian. You must be very pleased with the way this is shaping up.

Thx Jim yeah very happy but its not like what I'm used to, taking more time to complete but hey no rush

 

[Bri62]

Let it all dry, scared of knocking stuff off

 

[Bri62]

Done for the day my nerves are shot

 

[Bri62]

Getting there 10 days work so far, got to admit it's very enjoyable.

 

[Bri62]

Yep got to let everything dry fully.

 

[Jim R]

Certainly a lot of time needed to get that amount of fiddly detail. Looking great.

 

[Bri62]

Apart from a bit of weathering and Led's the engine room is finished. I'll post better pic tomorrow

 

[Mark1]

All looking very neat and tidy

 

[Bri62]

As promised.

Blimey Bri, you can almost feel that heat and the vibration coming from that thing!! As for error!! I'd have to ask a 'clanky'!!!!!
