      That is a nice bit of "Knicky Knackery" there Alan should add greatly to the overall effect. :thumb2:

            Linkage (partially) fitted as i've just broken off a control rod from it. Will glue that back on tomorrow night. Fitted a couple of pipes and made a new t-valve for the bottom pipe. Will paint these ones up now and then add the others on top afterwards. Not toomuch left for this front section now (thank heavens).

                      First set of pipes glued in place and painted. Makes it 'pop' a little more i think.

                      Three more pipes to go and then i have two filters and a few braided electrical cables to paint silver and that is the front section completed bar a few little areas to touch up with the aluminium paint. Then it's onto the middle section. All that needs is priming and painting, The rear section just needs painting.

                      Then it's onto joining the sections together and fitting various cables in place

                        That's brilliant Al. Really looking the business. Very well done.

                              Not yet. Still need to add 3 pipes on the front section. I am waiting to paint the middle and rear sections as i have some filler drying

                                That is a thing of beauty Alan. A real tribute to your patience and skills.
