The struggle is real, how hard can it be to put 4 sides on a box? I’m getting quite creative with the new expletives
Clamping, glueing, swearing and repeat.

Very hard. I am having similar difficulties. As fast as you get 3 sides taped the last side is off. You correct that and the whole thing is out of square. When you square things up a door moves out of true. Etc, etc, etc.
I'm sure you'll get there.

Thanks Jim, where would the fun be if everything was Tamiya style

This is where I got to last night, if I’m honest I was seriously thinking it’s bin day Thursday so they might get some extra weight in the bin and went to the pub. After a few beers I came home more positive and ready to go again

No pics yet but think I’ve cracked it

Mick nice updates. Sorry for your frustration I was never good at multi piece cabs.

Cheers Lee, pure frustration after getting some bits sorted including the etch and silver Scania sticker on the front grill, didn’t realise I was holding my breath until I suddenly gasped a breath in

Couldn't count the number of times I've found myself doing that. It seems involuntary, wonder why.

Good, good - glad it's sorted.
I've never decided whether modelling after a beer or two does actually enable a better result or whether the c***-*ps are less noticeable when viewed through an alcoholic haze :thinking:

Totally agree Paul, must be an inbuilt defence mechanism

I just sat and looked at it Jim, and decided tomorrow is another day and slept on it

Norton used to be terrible at slowing pc’s down. One of the reasons I went Apple!!

You two really had me confused for a minute, I went to answer Scottie and thought I was on the wrong post

[Andy T]

Can't beat a beer or three to steady the nerves. Good to here that you think you've cracked it.

[Mickc1440]

Sorry for the thread drift Mick. I’ve noticed Chris has mentioned the email prob a few times and it just confused me. Apologies. :thumb2: :smiling2:

Its not a problem Doug I just get confused easily :smiling:
