I find myself holding my breath as well when dealing with tiny things. Some excellent work here Steve. There's always foliage. PaulE

I’m blown away....Very nice work going on here Steve:smiling4: That looks to be some tricky photoetch.....and I thought the Aber 3 piece, workable tool clamps where tricky:flushed:

I’m not sure how i managed to miss the updates as your blog is on my watch list and I didn’t see this in the recent post section at all:thinking:

Hi Everyone

Totally insane JR, but its on my bench so I have to give it a go :smiling5:
Brilliant Jim! Sadly the straps on the straight jacket are being repaired at the moment
Cheers Paul. Foliage it is then;):cool:
Great to have you back Si. I always thought clamps were difficult. After this lot they are rather easy:smiling5::smiling:

Hi Steve, while scratching the ordnance later I suggest you add the right amount of gunpowder and cordite in the mix. Don't insert the primer until the very end incase you set it off. How many shells do you intend to make and fire? :smiling6: Geez...it's getting so detailed that I'm thinking you'll be using the gun.:smiling2:

absolute INSANITY!
I suppose the hinges actually work?
Neil, the guns gonna work too...

Damn fine work Steve. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Steve
That is looking superb - incredible detail.
We've all done the insanity jokes but you are certainly mad to attempt some of this. The fact that you have actually done it is a real tribute to your skills.

Just had a catch up Steve, as the guys have said superb work, the size of the PE details is so small, incredible detail.

Hi Everyone

By far the most detail I have added to a kit Andy. Thats because the kit is so crap :smiling5: :smiling:
Lovin your baby photo Jim:cool::smiling5:
Matron is running out rapidly Mick so you will have to be quick:smiling5:
They did until I glued them shut Neil:smiling:
Well there is an idea Richard. I will see what I can do;)
Kind words indeed Jim. Many thanks. More insanity to come however:upside:
Glad you enjoyed the read through Graeme. Thanks for the feedback
Much appreciated comments Bob. Cheers mate

Hi Steve, really lots of improvements and what a save on the wheels. What was the reason for the drum in the first place...anyway before you go further there's something bugging me but needs to be said as you've put so much effort. The tow pin styrene rod supports on both sides seem misaligned or size wise a little different which has made the rod slightly lob sided in the picture attached. Is it suppose to be like this on the real vehicle as perhaps the idler wheel is higher on one side because of the terrain. Hope I'm making sense.

Imagine moving onto a separate section of the build to relieve monotony and get hit by an issue to solve...well done on the recovery and restraint (need to make me one swear charity box) :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

Morning Steve - details are coming on a treat but don't forget to sort out the simple stuff --> large gap in the frame and the misaligned curves
