Right standby to be amazed or amused.
possible both.
I took Paul's advice
and used the tape method, that was fun fighting with a length of tape the wrong side up and trying to untangle one hand while sticking another section of tape with the other hand to the first.
Getting that done was exciting , the best was yet to come.
I managed to stick 30 odd track links down and applied glue to the section !
The only problem I had was some of the links hadn't glued very well. now you could blame me, but reading what Simon said about cleaning them up and the size I think I did quite well.
I don't think If I had put the top section on as the distructions said I would have got any tracks on,will be interesting to see hoe Simon gets on.
The few that came apart had to be glued on the model , this proved to be awkward as you had to feed in the two pin into the 3 pin, its a good job the glue allowed some movement, but I still had to revert to CA to do it quickly.
Used cooper wire for some of the handles, the others were to small . lost one and found another that would do. These had to go on the back of that PE , so CA again. Normally I glue the tweezers to the part, this time it was the whole bottle to my hand, the CA ran down the out side and of course I didn't see it until too late.
The right good eye has been troubling me this week, I had been able to do some work with out the optivisor, but the last few days its been
have to keep blinking to clear it.
With out more ado
You can see the miss fitting links, just over from front wheel.
Good job I didn't use the black glue ! Jut can see the where I've been
That gap above the doors is due to the fact that I fitted that damned section of PE before I fitted the top , had I done it the other way the gap would be gone. As it was I had to hack a section off the rear top before I could even get the top part forward.
Suppose I should put in some filler, but to tell the truth I just can't be bothered anymore. Each time I attempt to build a kit there is a part that defeats me and it end up looking a mess.
The only thing I really enjoy is the buildings and the diorama.
