.....this week has been about the cab. I have done most of the detailing and building.
The chevrons are printed from a file on Google images, and the sight glass safety glass is 2 x 2 mm acetate rod. I then just followed the kit instructions and photos.
There's a few more odds and sods to go on the backhead but I'm waiting for castings from LGM.
I made the cab roofs too. They're a bit tricky to shape but I used my trusty slip rollers with some very thick card to help support the voids.
A bit of careful soldering and...
I also made a start on the ashpans, they're the last large structure apart from the body, must get round to that. Daunted by the thought of having to manipulate a resin body, it's kind of death-or-glory isn't it?
Bodies next, unless I can find something else so I can put them off for a bit longer, I prefer things that can be soldered...........
