Grahame,this undercarriage is a model in its own right,I love the way that you have executed the litho panel which hides the bungee sprung cross axle,are you going to make the wheels 'live' this stops any tendency to ground loop as the axle is running and not the wheels ? just a thought but I suspect that you will go for the originals construction with the axle in a sprung state via the bungee cords.
I can see that you are enjoying this project and there lies a point,never ever build something that you never have your heart and soul in,you just got to love your subject matter to get the very best from it.
Was it soap rubbed onto the litho to allow it to be worked,followed with heat ?
