Tidy his bench? Such barbaric behaviour is not to be encouraged!Not sure where your toolbox is, you might find it if you tidy your bench.......

Heresy, tidy my bench , never . A large scale investigation has taken place , places where I might have put it have been checked Graeme . Glad I took your suggestion up on the chasing the chickens , still trying to work out 570's method .
Quite correct Peter, the mere thought is enough to cause palpitations !Tidy his bench? Such barbaric behaviour is not to be encouraged!

Great Dude 2! As long as it doesn't cause constipation, you'll be fine and good to go...........

As the rain fell I decided to take to the cave, it was one of those days that when you finish there is little to show !
After trying both thread and a copper thread to use as lifting ropes on the clutch and gear box , neither of which gave the impression of weight I've resorted to chain from RB models. After a struggle I managed to get some extremely thin wire through the chain , it certainly looks better. Now primed and drying hanging up. Ready for some paint.
Gen set is finished along with the cables from it to the arc welder .Barrels have been weathered and glued in place . Slow it is but hopefully will be worth it .

Good evening plastic lovers from a windy South Lincs.
Spent a happy time in the cave, after what seemed like hrs trying to put a copper wire through a link in a chain
Nearly took to drinking thinners as my depth of field is nil with having one good eye.
Once done I spent the rest of the time positioning items in the building. Then painting the figures, at the moment looking like a dance troop
.
Hopefully another good day tomorrow will see some more parts fitted in the building and more paint on the figures.
Thanks for looking in, abuse welcome !

Looking really good John. Fabulous detail on the SU, and the figures are coming along really nicely. Does look like they’ve taken a break to practice their Cossack dancing for “Ivan’s got talent” though.

Ooh John that's looking the NUTS!
Looking fantastic Brother!!! You might want to be careful though, as the 2nd fig from the left looks like he's becoming the incredible Hulk in about 2 minutes. Go inside the house Dude 2, right now and don't take any chances!!!......
