Hi Pete, a British Tank, I'll have to follow your progress, the brass stowage bins look good, be a shame to paint them!:thumb2:

Glad you managed to upload the latest pics. Stunning work with the PE. Did it all bend into shape okay?. Looks awesome from here

Hi Graeme thank you, glad to have you along at least the paint will hide my mistakes.

Hi Steve I think I've sorted it now thank you for dropping in, it's coming together slowly, working out which way to bend and which bend to bend first sometimes takes some working out, I don't do much PE work normally. Hopefully the paint will hide most of the mistakes.
Pete.

Hi Si and good evening to you, it's something I don't do a lot of so I'm pleased you like it so far, there's quite a bit more to come so fingers crossed.

The PE looks very neat and clean mate, well done.

Hi Ross, PE isn't really my thing so the nice comment is much appreciated, I must confess I haven't cleaned it up yet so it should look a bit better than it is hopefully.
Pete.

Pete,
Great work with the PE, If you do not have a roller set do not panic, use the drill bits that you would normally use for DIY and roll on a stiff piece of rubber like a mouse mat. But I can see you are progressing well. Will drop a pic in of my etch tools as a guide for you. Cheers, Mike

Hi this work was done last Monday, have lost my mojo and interest in building so it's back in the box.

Cut out fender support R/H for wiring to side light (before and after)
