The sheet which I suppose I should refer to as foil was measured with a digital vernier in mm then the inch mode was selected to give the imperial size.

But I think that this should now be put to bed.

What I did was type “0,03 mm” ([ICODE],[/ICODE] instead of [ICODE].[/ICODE] because I’m not an English-speaker :tongue-out

Not just English speakers Jakko - the international IEC/ISO standard for the decimal separator is the comma.

No mistake in the maths Jakko……and I never even noticed the comma…..just that your last sentence says they are 10, 30, and 65 thou…..right after you’ve shown them to be 1.2, 3.1 and 6.7 thou……..

Hi guys if I got the dimensions wrong I apologise, but can we please put an end to this now.

[scottie3158]

You never fail to amaze me with your neat, clean work….a joy to see :thumb2:

Cheers Si,
Very kind of you.

Hells bells Paul please stop this superb scratchy, it's embarrassing to us mere mortals. I get excited when I manage a bend :nerd: on a straight piece.:smiling2:

Thanks John, very kind of you to say.

Rather than follow the printed build sequence I have joined the upper and lower hull, before adding the detailed parts. When this was done the exhaust was added. I can't believe they couldn't find a better place for the exhaust to exit rather than by the vehicle hatches.



The vehicle jack had a pewter strap and an etch buckle added.



The tail light was scratched and a cable added. The pins on the shackles were also added from copper wire.



I have decided to have the engine decks closed. But thought it would be good to have a hatch open. So I have added a bit of detail.



cheers

Very odd place for the exhaust, yes. It was in the same place on Valentine tanks, so it’s not as if the designers of the Bishop felt they had to move it out of the way of the superstructure rear doors or anything.

Agreed a strange design

Thanks Jim, appreciate it.

Work is slow but sure. I have added the fuel tank, with a couple of tweaks that were seen on a couple of reference pics.




I broke one another pinged off somewhere never to be seen again so Had to make some engine deck handles.



Hatch added with scratched lock.



and one hatch closed with external details added.



cheers Scottie
