There’s a lot better stuff now out there than mom’s old sewing thread I’m going to give it a shot

I use old telephone cable, like the one from the socket on the wall, pretty thin, and some coper wire from cable Lee.

Thanks for reminding me John before I quit building model cars that’s what I graduated to plus I worked in the lead mines when I was 18 years old and I would sometimes use blasting wire

Am watching this one John for sure but my hunt and peck typing skills are quite laborious :rolling:
Hence my dearth of banter, just know I'm following along and enjoying this build.:thumb2:

Cheers, Jim :smiling4:

Cheers Fernando, coming together, Allen has kindly sourced the wheels, so waiting for those to arrive from the Fatherland .
Glad you like the flowers, wait until you see the whole set up. Just had the Victorian Garden Cloche back from the shot blasting and powder coating company, looks the dogs .

John,
Top work on the engine and drive train my friend.

Thanks Paul, I've really tried with this to get to grips with chassis, at least this one was pre moulded in one ! .

-------------------------------------
All that was accomplished today was a coat first thing of some mat varnish on the engine and inside the car.
Tonight I started the oil wash around the engine and did some work on those seats .
Some photos tomorrow .

It's taken until now to get a post done.
Spent some time this afternoon gluing small bits on can't do much until the wheels arrive.
Here are a few photos .



Quite pleased with the outcome .

Thanks for looking in, any comments welcome .

JR, hope the wheels show up soon. This looks like it will be a good one.
Cheers, Rick H.

Forget the wheels John, get some tracks on it:smiling5:

Oil washes are looking good to me.
I think washes/filters etc help to enhance the paintwork and add a realistic look:thumb2:
