Ever had that sick, sinking feeling when you realise you have glued something on wrong !! :mad:, Well I had that feeling last night, whilst I was constructing the drivers area, more on that in a bit, I was test fitting the ‘tub’ to the chassis but for the life of me couldn’t work out why it wouldn’t sit true, plus two locating holes seemed to be missing, it was then I had the sinking feeling as I looked at the hull plate and realised I had glued it on upside down, 3 days ago
!!!. I assumed, obviously incorrectly, that the ribbing was part of the hull, where in fact it was for the underside. PANIC !!, a fresh blade in the knife and some very careful scoring and 10 minutes later I had managed to remove the plate without any damage and glue it back on the right way round.
The drivers compartment builds into a nice representation of the innards, 4 main pieces and a couple of small add-ons go into its construction, along with a couple of pieces for the side wall. Pedals, hand brake are all separate parts along with a ‘joystick’ steering lever. The seat has a nice texture to it and the whole unit is constructed from 5 pieces and fits into a slot in the floor, does seem a long way back though.
