Update,
Not a lot to show except more brass, some from the kit, some from Eduard and some from myself.
As you can see I added the fire extinguisher from scratch, the bracket for the spare wheel, the smoke dischargers/flares (one still armed), the shovel holder and the tow rope brackets.
I also scratchbuilt the mirrot arm and brackets, the grab handle for the front and the bolt heads/rivets.
And apart from items that have to be fitted along the way, this is where I am at the moment. Tomorrow it will be work on the 'flimsy' carrier on the rear deack, number plate and then onto the shrouded lights and that should take me close to the build finish, then the painting starts - now I wonder if I can get that done before the bathroom is finished being re-built, SWMBO has gone mad on a walk in shower etc, and was telling the dogs how great it will be that they can now have a shower instead of a bath, they looked well impressed, also the tortoise has been promised full use, not looking forward to the day when she forgets him/it and i try washing under my arms and other departments with something that does not lather up too much - do not ask me, I only live here...
So tomorrow I will see 07.30am for the first time in I do not know how long.
Cheers,
Mike.
