Oh yea of little faith. Rick that is just a poor weld in the BM factory. :smiling3::smiling3::nerd:.
Your most welcome Steven, could you swear as we go along please !
Thanks Ian, grab a seat before the rest of the Rabble arrive.
Thanks Dave, its taken me long enough to grasp it. Oh I agree about the small stuff, just not worth the bother. I saw a PE set the other day with individual bolt heads, smaller than .5 mm !

570 Greetings from the wind swept stepps of Lincs.
Hi Richard, good to have you along.
Still undecided on the dio setting , but it will be showing reloading. We'll have a vote later ! I've put you down for the rolling grassland .

Not much to show, started the Masterclub Tracks.
Not one fits with out much prep, in the end I'm using 4 mm brass wire, having to straighten most of the track plates out. Very soft material, so drilling each one after removing casting debris attempting to join up and running the drill through, promptly followed by the wire.
With the resin pins being so thin only a few go in, hence the wire.

Thanks Paul,off to check out some BM trucks now to work out the rear body .
Hi mate, took a bit of time to adjust, but getting the hang of it now. Thanks for that walk round, see there was another light on that one, will check the sprue as I think it was on a double one so might be a apart light.
Those tracks will just have to take time, ordered some more .4 wire, so tomorrow will use up the wire then concentrate on the. BM rear bed .

Not a bad day, had a CLEAN UP as well , and brought out the new cutting mat. (Reason for all this was knocking over a bottle of CA, of course stuck one corner of the mat to the bench.
Half a bottle of debonda later, followed by a clean and we have this .
It lasted about an hr until I filled it with spur and parts.
Been making the load bed for the truck.
Used 1mm plastic sheet for the deck, and .8 for the sides back and head board.

If I hadn't spilt the ca then I wouldn't have got the new mat out !
Yes scratching the base, seems fun at the moment.
Jim may give me a temporary membership if I'm lucky :smiling::smiling::smiling3:.

Well his fingers isn’t glued together yet with that CA glue or he wouldn’t be able to type unless Christine is doing the typing for him lol anyway John you’re doing a fantastic job my friend.

Lee, thanks mate.
In fact your not far wrong, I used some paper to mop up quickly and the fumes nearly knocked me out . Yes I did stick my thumb and forefinger together as well , hot water soon cleared that .:smiling2:

Spent the day scratching building the load bed.
Using 1mm plastic card for the bed and .8 for the sides. Selection of plastic strip for the supports, a few pits of PE for hinges and catches .
Quite pleased as been able to use up that kit after I'd used the rocket system for another build.
Made two fuel tanks out of some spare bits.
Getting ready now for the wind, it's getting quite strong.
Comments welcome.
