Cheers Steve, I just can't let the bad rope go so it will have to be replaced.

Hi Scottie
Great stuff. I am sure you will sort the rope to your satisfaction.

I have changed the winch rope and although not 100% happy it is an improvement.
next the engine and PTO have had an initial weathering and been added to the chassis. More details will be added as the build progresses. Finally a top water hose has been added, strangely not included in the kit.
I have just noticed I have left the cooling fan off!!!!!
cheers

Thanks Neil 3 thumbs up I'm happy with that.Cracking stuff, Scottie!
Greg, If it looks ok at first glance that works for me.
Yeah I hope so too I should be able to get it in. I found a bit of twine still a little over size but better than the first and second attempt.
many thanks Jim.

Scottie,
I have just redone the winches on the dragon wagon and I used some wire from a picture hook kit I unravelled it and then using four strands i put it in the jaws of a cordless drill and I think that has come out really well.
Just an idea.

Marty that's my normal route as well but this time it just didn't look right I think the wire was to thick to start with.

A bit more tinkering. added the air tank and some pipework and new retaining straps. The exhaust has been fitted and the colour just blocked in it will receive weathering and pigments later.
The front axle has been fitted and I am glad to say there is a good amount of articulation and the home made spring returns it.
cheers

Superb work Scottie. I too keep thinking they are reference pictures of the real thing.
