Update,
Out with the dogs on Tuesday so nothing done, but the fresh air cleared the head (bit like a box of frogs) and stopped the shaking.... damn that Polish wine and Rakia.
But made up for it today, the kettle is now in primer as is the gas bottle, the suspension is complete and ready for installation once the cab is painted and attached to the rear which will also gat a coat of paint. But more later. Hope your new year went well, at least the parts you can remember.....
Cheers,
Mike.

Oh boy missed a whole bunch of nice stuff Mike...will be going through the pages with a fine tooth comb. Happy New Year to you.

The kettle is a scream and if Scottie is impressed with the interior, I'm heading back to take a look... wait for the sound of the jaw drop.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Happy New Year to you. The kettle etc will be the end of the interior, it is time to start joining all the bits together. And thanks for the kind comments.
Cheers, Mike.

Update,
Hi all, just a short update, the gas bottle is finished as is the hose for the gas, and decided to get on and get the cooker made up which is now in primer. I tried to model it on this version...

FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.
...and i came out with this, not a very clear pic but it should look better in paint...

...just a bit of soft weathering to do and then on with the kettle - tea up!
Cheers, Mike.

Update.
The cooker is in basecoat and should be detail painted later.
A few days ago John Race asked me to do a small sbs on making ring bezels from copper wire. And if you are reading this and wondering haveing just looked at the pics, you have not wandered off somwhere else.
So, John, get your wire out....



Cheers,
Mike.
p.s. This will also be put on the tutorials section.
