Apologies for the lack of updates on this. I'm still very shaky, which makes modelling a tad difficult. I'm on two lots of medication, which help a little, but apparently I can't have anything stronger until I've seen a neurologist, and the first available neurology appointment is on the 19th of August - my 76th birthday!
I should have taken a lot more photos during this build, but haven't - however, it's finished now as I don't feel like weathering it. After all, they were all new once!

A brilliant little kit that really deserved a bit more time but it's been hard to keep up any enthusiasm. I'll try to take some outdoor photos if the weather permits.

Thanks Chris. I'm running out of back teeth! I had a bad car crash many years ago in a car with a non-retractable seat belt that was too long for the car so I couldn't tighten it. I slid down under the belt, which smashed my jaws together at the back, cracking most of my back teeth which made them liable to infection. To be honest I'm surprised they've lasted this long!
We've been luck with NHS dentists since we moved to the Midlands in '93. Ours retired a couple of years ago but the dental practice replaced him, and the new guy is OK.
