Well. We have finally made the big retirement move from Bradford to the TLC of Wales - 4.5 minutes drive to Harbour Station if there is no traffic. ?Modelling has been on the back burner for months whilst we packed and unpacked. ?The new layout shed is still stuffed with boxes to sort - not to mention it needs a new floor and half the roof replacing! ?
But the desk is installed in the sitting room once more and a start made on two kits. ?According to Bob, this one has been through the 7mm second hand stores several times and no-one has started it. ?So far it is living up to its reputation as difficult. ?The bend under the front tank has no half etch guide making it very hard to bend accurately and I realise I have already soldered the bunkers in the cab incorrectly. If Paul is watching this post, you have some work to do on the etchings as well as the chassis (which I have not even looked at yet). However, ?I have already modified the ?top of the cab from Lynton profile to FfWHR.?
Further updates to follow as well as progress on the simultaneous build of Lilla.?
