Cheers Scottie
Thanks Lee
Paul - I did get a large assorted box of Grandt Line nuts, bolts, hinges, lifting eyes, and the most useful wing nuts back around 1990. Pretty much only have the odd sized stuff left that will probably never be useful for anything! Tried to find their wing nuts recently but nothing doing - think they have gone bust from what I read
Rick - much more suited to 1/35
I think my body clock has a broken mainspring - been exhausted tired all weekend for no good reason and as a result spent most of it asleep. What a waste of a weekend.
Only really woke up around 6pm Sunday so not much done on the modelling
Did make a rather nice looking loaf though - finished baking just after midnight. All I can smell now is bread - yum
brass handrail added to rear of superstructure - kit one was broken any way
supports are from brass wire flattened with smooth nose pliers, wrapped around the rod and nipped up with the pliers
headlight added
horn hollowed out and added to the headlight bracket
the solid plastic kit tree saw holder replaced with a copper one - a 3mm strip was cut then folded up in an etch folder to make the U shape channel that it should be
No tree saw provided so may have a look at making one
filler caps added to the fuel tanks
track pin bashers added just in front of the final drive housing - loose track pins hit the steel block and get pushed back in to the track link
Presumably this only works for so long until the pins wear so loose they fall out before the track gets back around to the block
