Happy days to say the least. The first time I've been able to do these so thanks for the tips. I'd glued the section with Contacta and left them for about 1.5 hrs.
Yes Gerry at long last !See, ye of little faith, you did conquer in the end
Sorry Rick , a very nice Walnut and Date sponge, I ate your piece to save you the trouble'ats right JR..........just run off and gorge yerself without invitin' the rest of us fine folks!!
Thanks Lee .That’s SWEET! No pun intended as you go eat your cake
Thanks Graeme .Knew you'd sort it John, good work.
Don't worry Tim plenty of those , but as it's going to be half in the water and the other in snow why worryThat’s set me a benchmark to aim at…..probably doing mine tomorrow, loads of knockout marks to see to first though
Mine were also a bit rough Tim , I looked more closely on the second track run and sanded them off, certainly wasn't going to fill them this time.Trouble is John, mine isn’t
Thanks Tim, are your MG barrels as bad ?Looking good John. Can’t wait to get to that bit myself…..might have to file up some MG barrels as well….
Cheers Mark, its amazing when you manage something that in the end was a simple thing of leaving the glue for more than an hr before doing the wrap. All the idlers and drive wheels are able to turn at the moment . Will glue those and the tracks down later.Come on nicely John, well done with the tracks they look spot on

I certainly would, they are weak enough on the sprue Tim, so once on they would be the first thing to get knocked off !Have
I haven't looked that closely yet John. They do look fragile though, and seem a pretty simple shape. I will leave them off until the end anyway.
It is indeed Andrew , thinking about it Si does do that , In love the way he removes the whole track and wheels to paint !Coming on nicely John!!
That tape tip for track is a brilliant idea....I think it was Si Benson who put me onto it!!
