          Thanks. Very useful and really effective.

              Jim,
              Send for the nurse, I am sure the brain has gone for sure - I'm looking at the picture and thinking what the - is Jim talking about.... And then the penny dropped :rolling:... That was a metal block, but when I took the pics it was reflecting the light from my lamp back into the lens, so a bit of bog paper sorted that out....

                Update,
                The build as such is finished, paint is done, weathering is weathered.
                Had a bit of a fight fitting the tracks, As I said they go together in no time, but the front track guard has a chamferred inside and the tracks will go past but you will neet to bend it outwards to allow for this, next time I will scratch build one. Also the drive sprocket teeth do not match the holes in the track, not a problem, just cut off the teeth that will not be seen - job sorted.
                Would I build another Bronco Comet, unless a better version comes my way, then yes I would and include the track links as well.
                So the build is finished, now I am going to concentrate on adding stowage (undecided), cam net and of course a brew kit etc, and then a final matt coat of varnish to seal the job. The crew are on their way from China, rowing I think, and the base is in design. So here are a couple of pics, and once finished the final pics will be in the completed section.
                Many thanks for all the comments and for sticking with it. I will let you know when it is in the completed section.
                Cheers,
                Mike.

                  Hi Mike
                  Sorry about the sandwich joke - just came into my head when I first looked at the photo :rolling:
                  That model is superb in every respect. Great detail and stunning paint job/weathering. Looking forward to the figures and the base.
                  Jim

                      Perfect. Really fine modelling and painting. It doesn't get better than that.

                            Next time please finish the wire rope in the correct manor, should be eased into the main length on the return, you have that dreaded Marlin spike ! How I hated wire rope splicing ! Why was your shaving brush out !

                            Joking apart Mike excellent SBS. Do those tracks just click together, and will they move ie bend easily. I still have problems with gluing them, this afternoon the KV ones fell apart several times. ( Done those exhaust and airfilter .) I would have a go with them if there's not to much dreaded cleaning up ?
