Firstly thanks Andrew and Jim sorry for not replying sooner ,well I'm calling it finished as intrest was beginning to wane ,I made up a couple of tissue bits to put in the rear bin could have tried harder but as I said it was close to running on empty , its been intresting and I've learnt a lot working my way around with the finishing/ weathering so much so I'm going to do one more 35er before going back to my first love(tru scale)this will follow up on what I've learnt here then hopefully down scale to the smaller stuff so a quick pick ill put the rest up in the finished build bit. Thanks to all for your help and continued encouragement. Dave
