A bench tidy & a thorough look thru ref material usually does it for me. I have put etch & decal sheets in ref material for safekeeping. HTH. PaulE

Have a look in your PE spares box. I am forever mistakenly putting mine in there. I hope it turns up soon

Allen, Scottie, Jim, Paul and Steve.
LOL, many thanks for your support and offers of advice on where to find the missing etch. I have searched everywhere and all I can think of is that along with the instructions etc that I placed on my trash bin I also put the etch and somehow it slid into the bin and the rest is history. The new set is apparently on its way, so let's hope it is not too long. I could have carried on but in my work plan the cab and engine bay were to be finished and then I could attach the rear work area and finish that, add the roof and then finish constructing the roof.
But it has given me a rest from it, refresh the batteries, a chance to clean the bench and catch up on the Chieftain bridgelayer which is now being left alone to let the C/a harden. Plus of course I now have the toon model arriving Monday, but in the meantime......
Cheers
Mike.

Quick update,
The etch set is now somewhere between me and Poland, so things are looking up.

This is a great looking build glad you found the PE

Mike, you do know your missing etch will turn up five minutes after the postman delivers the new one don’t you?
Top quality work, by the way, really inspiring....
Cheers

Update,
New set of etch arrived today which was a big surprise as the tracker was showing it still in Poland. So going to spend the weekend caressing and fondling it....... really nurse, do I have to write this out.......
But will be back on the build as from Monday, that is if I survive the protest march in London on Sunday, she who must be obeyed has commanded that we attend as she wants to protest, and as an ex from the East End of london it should be colourful and educational in the area of language. I swear the older she gets, the more militant she becomes, and this all started from a parking ticket over ten years ago, I should add the parking ticket was mine. I would think the parking attendant has recovered mentally from the tounge lashing, she left him quite pale and withdrawn.......
Anyway more Monday, thanks for sticking with it.
Cheers,
Mike.

I empathize. Have been to more protests & protest planning meetings in the last year than in all the 60s & 70s combined. Tends to cramp bench time. PaulE

Hi Paul,
Back from my adventure into the wild world of protest in the Smoke on Sunday, madam came back just about crippled after walking all that distance on new knee replacements. But the blessing is it is totally quiet, all that shouting and rabble rousing and the poor soul has lost her voice. So the end result is that I now have a 5' 2" dissident on my hands..... Ah well anything for a quiet life.....
More on the build tomorrow when I get some work done.
Cheers, Mike.
