      This is scratching on a new level Scottie. The rivets do look better although the original looked good. As for the lock, that is just insanely good.

        I am not going to comment because you know I will say it is a fantastic build and another credit to you.
        Rivets - have you not learned your lesson yet!!! I did after building that b'y bridge, if I go near the rivet tool it backs into the corner cringing and whimpering...
        Such a shame it will all be covered in paint, but we will all know what a great job lays beneath.

              It's not the bread poultice, but the massage that follows, only woman I know with hands like shovels and rough as 80 grit sandpaper....

                  This is clearly witchcraft and should be burned instantly.

                      cheers Tony I didn't give it a lot of thought but when I got to the next panel it was to thick compared with the new one so didn't have a lot of choice but to carry on. I must admit I'm looking forward to matrons visit.
