You have your hands full with this part of the build. You are certainly going well with some wonderfully accurate and detailed scratchery. Keep up the great work.

Short update,
I have started on the 'plumbing' , the three way valve is in place and connected and just made up the 1mm channel for the first 'box'. Used to hate making boxes, now cannot wait to get to them. Lots of parts made up and drying ie support frame, so once in place more photo's. Now off for a lay down in the dark padded room. Cheers All,

Update,
There are so many small details that have to be done on this build that I am having to jump from one area to another.
Winch House - this is now starting to come together, the first 'box' is in place and the sidewall for the 'well' has been made, and will be in place tonight (photo).
Pulley brackets, one made up and one to do, and they do work, (madness is now complete). (photos). The first image shows the ones that came with the etch set, mmmmm!
'A' Frames. Again one built and one on the way, just had to remake the end brackets.
And finally a general view of the front end.
P.S. I am now trying to get this finished ready for the MAFVA Nationals on the 24th of next month, as ordered by her who must be obeyed, well until the door is shut and she is half a mile up the road.......[ATTACH]303476[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303477[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303478[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303479[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303480[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303487[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303486[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303481[/ATTACH]
