I've been watching on the quiet and I am amazed at the wiring so when you have finished can you come and sort my wiring loom on my Robin as its diabolical.

Chris,
This build just keeps on giving excellent work.

Hang fire on the figures Chris. While sorting through some stuff, I came across remnants of a past modelling life that included this bag of 1/72 & 1/76 figures.

There could be something in here that will meet your needs. I'm at work again tomorrow, but should be able to have a sort through early next week.....

HI Peter well im glad you like my wireing in tiger but work on a relaint no way as ive had the ole relaint regal an that was a heap of rubbish an in danger of catchin fire at any moment an thats the only car ever got seasick in lol ps but i must admit the robin was a lot better car than that ole regal i had an i only had that because i could drive it on a full motor bike licence but my then present young lady insisted i go for my drivin test to get a proper car an i passed my test first tme an then got a ford escort an she was happy

This is really coming along well, lovely work with the wiring.
New one on me with the self adhesive strip metal, but guess that it works well.

HI Gerry yes this copper foil tape works very well easy to solder to an used this on my nimtz aircraft carrier an the copper strips were nr 9ft lont to illuminate all the flightdeck leds
hope you are well

Much progress since I last checked in Chris.....the Seaking is the bomb! and the deck lights will really show it off well. Glad you found a crew for it as it wouldn't make for a very attractive "Drone" !! :tongue-out3:
