        A real bit of metal bending wizardry, keep up the good great work Scottie.

            Really thought I had ruined the kit. I dropped my soldering iron on to the back deck and managed to melt away one engine cover and damage the surround. Luckily I have managed to repair it and it should be ok if you don't look to closely. The exhaust shield was soldered together and added with the addition of some bolt detail.

            The headlamps have been added with the addition of the cables. Also added was some detail to the shackles.

            I will have to replace a couple of the rivets as I notice they are out of line.

            cheers

                There is a fair bit of etch to add and maybe some scratch I need to check my references.

                  Looking good,at least it was salvageable would have been a real shame to see all that work end up in the bin!

                    That really is coming on very, very nicely indeed. Very well done so far.

                            You certainly are pulling out all the stops with this one, great work so far, even your accidents look good.

                                That must have been an OMG moment. I think we rarely get through a kit without at least one of them - we drop it, drop something on it, spill glue on it, loose a very small but imprortant part, draw blood, find a part lurking under the instruction sheet that should have been fitted four stages ago etc etc. The real challenge is getting passed it :tongue-out3:
                                Looking better and better.
