Your attention to detail is always top notch Pete - really brings these Toons to life!

Thank you very much, that is something Mr T was exceptional at not the big bits but small bits, hopefully some little bit has now rubbed off on me, I'd like to think so.

Hi Pete
I reckon you build Toons 'cause they have fewer wheels to clean up! :rolling: :smiling: :tongue-out3:

Looks good so far Pete. As I’ve said before, you get more “real” modelling into these little jobs than most of us do in full blown scale replicas.

Very kind of you to say so, just think how much it cost if I put all that into a 1:35 :cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat:.

You wouldn’t have to buy the extra running gear, but then the fun factor would be lower as well.....

Hi made a start on the PEWTER track guards but had to get the pewter for somewhere so off we go to the secret Mr 'Ts' pewter mine.

The first consignment of Mr 'Ts' pewter is ready for shipping.

Working with pewter is a black art so I'll need a lot of help so for a "ONE OFF" performance I have asked these guys to help me.

This is what came back from the workshop two trackguards with nicely formed return edges, just need to finish them off.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH]
Might have to keep these little guys around.
