Chris the whole build is great, but the wiring really is something else. You must a have wiring diagram to check this as you go ?

Hi Chris
Thought I’d drop by and catch up on this epic build :tongue-out:
Seems construction is going ahead at full steam. The superstructure really is starting to take shape now and I love the working doors.
Fabulous stuff!
Keep safe, keep modelling and updating us all on this cracking build
Cheers
Paul
