Not a lot to report as most of Saturday was spent asleep!
What a waste of a day off but unfortunately I didn't have any say in the matter :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
Consequently I only managed to make a start on the hatch locking mechanisms
need a bit more work but you get the idea
I hope I can get a bit more done later today......

Morning Simon
Sorry about the extended stay in the Land of Nod. I always look at your posting time and I see another one at silly o'clock.
Those locking whatsits look really nice. So many parts to make up something so small.

Hi Jim - think I'm turning nocturnal. Slept through large chunks of Sunday as well - now awake and posting this at 1am ! Been waiting all week for the weekend then sleep through most of it - really annoying :disappointed2:
I did manage a few little bits here and there in the waking moments:
finished off the door locks
added the starter handle
the 'S' shackles
and the hand axe
lastly I managed to fill in the front side sections of the track guards - the kit part was removed when thinning the guards down

Hi Simon
Once again I am really impressed with the way you can scratch these tiny details. Those hatch locks look great.

Jim / Steve - thanks :thumb2:
wire cutters now in place
toolbox and jacking block added - 23 etch parts in total, a lot of them stupidly small
it took me quite a few hours to get these assembled - a couple of the smallest parts went to the carpet monster but luckily Eduard anticipated this and provided extras

Hi Simon

Stunning Simon, astonishing work. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Simon
Sincere apologies but am VERY behind on this. That really is some truly stunning work there. It will almost be a shame to cover all your additions in paint.
Very well done indeed.

after a right struggle I finally managed to get the shovel in place
the etch part designated for the handle support was already used for a light on the front track guard so had to make one from a section of the fret as nothing else jumped out of the etched bits as being correct
lost the handle end stop so will need to make one from more of the fret - at this rate there will be more made from the fret than actual parts
Hi Simon
May be a struggle with bits of fret but looks great.

eventually found the shovel end stop, dropped it again, found it again and quickly suck it in place before it went again
crowbar added
the Eduard instructions say to remove all detail from the kit fire extinguisher so all you are left with is a rod with a severe mould line to rectify
I decided a better idea was to just make a new body from aluminium tubing of the same diameter, with the centre filled with plastic rod, then add the PE
The straps were not quite long enough so new ones were added from pewter
