    Update, Things are moving along at a crawl at the moment, but as there is nothing to be rushed that is fine. Chris, here is a pic of the end of the suspension arm that can (will) be cut off to allow for movement. And there is plenty of meat left for attaching later. Today children, we are...

    Update, Had a problem with reading after the last update, I confused 'satin varnish' with 'matte varnish'. There I was spraying away, head in the clouds and kept looking at the varnish going on the model, it just did not appear to be behaving. So finished and was in the process of cleaning up...

    For the etch I would suggest practice first using a pair of tweezers instead of your fingers to manipulate the smaller items, For bending I use a safety blade or a #9 scalpel blade, for holding down sometimes even a 6" ruler is too long so I use a couple of bits of 60thou plasticard wit h the...
