    Trying my Patience ...............

    Building the Miniart WLA Motorcycle with Rider for a review on Armorama, and its not half trying my patience; fiddly doesn't come close and its so small but packed full of detail and parts!! (last count reckon up to near ) photo shows how small next to a standard bottle top for a bottle of Carlsberg (which are great for making enamel based washes, holding super glue) – other brands are available. Never seem such small pieces of brass, and some of that needs forming to shape. Hoping to have the build finished this week, but not sure now if that’s possible. Then shall be into the paint shop (the Best bit), Rear mudguard not glued at this stage

                  I never thought manufacturers did micro scale bikes etc ( must be a right pain in the ###### if your tweezers go ping and the carpet monster gets the part
