My latest update on my Dora build.
The bogies are almost completed now. I still have some decals to apply and glue some steps to the bogie sides:
Although I have assembled many parts, there are many more to go. Here are the components for four ladders and there are another two slightly, different, ladders to assemble:
The cleaning up of the ladder sides and rungs took a long time:
Here I am assembling four ladders with the other two ladders already assembled. These ladders took a long time to put together but I found it best to glue the rungs two at a time, let them dry and then move on to the next pair of rungs:
Once the ladders were assembled, I started cleaning up some railings and another pair of ladders:
After those were cleaned up, it was time to clean up a lot of pipework:
The pipework was then glued to the outside faces of the cradles:
Other pipework was fitted to the outside of the mounts:
There were four each side:
The cradles dry-fitted in place:
That is all for now.
