I don't think Matron has failed, she was up against far stronger forces than she could sort with happy pills and a hug me jacket.
I have a headache from squinting at this micro madness, great work though Steve.

Hi Steve, you are becoming Mr. Scratchbuild ey ^^ Nice project you have going on here chap, love the enhancements!

Cheers

[Fernando N]

Caught up too Steve and oh my what a level of detail for the interior.:smiling:
Will look fantastic sir when you've painted and weathered it all.:thumb2:

[SimonT]

Very good Steve - coming together nicely :thumb2:

Cutting 1mm square rods :anguished: that is what Slaters / Evergreen microstrip is for - Slaters do assorted size packs. Well worth getting a few packs if you are going to be doing more of this :thumb2:

Hi Steve
Your madness knows no bounds. I didn't realize that the Simon T virus could spread so far.
Brilliant stuff.

Stevie,

You are straight up crazy my man. I love every second of it too!!! The only thing left is to make a few bugs for the windshield. Truly great stuff!!!

Prost auf Dich
Allen

Hi Everyone

Its certainly giving me headaches Scottie:smiling5:
Great to see you popped into have another look Ian. It's a very busy site with lots going on
Brilliant Mick:smiling::smiling3::smiling5::smiling5::smiling5: It is total insanity!!
Enjoying this one a lot Wouter and nothing has fallen off yet:smiling2:
At the painting stage now Fernando. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out
I was in the moment Mr T so had no choice. The strips are on my ever extended list of things to buy. Good news is that there is a rumour going around that Santa has finally got round to getting me the RZTools rivet maker this year. So I will be in touch in the New Year about that:thumb2::thumb2:
Total madness Jim. Mr T has been an inspiration and you will see some more of his influences in this update.
Now there is an idea Allen. I will look forward to painting the veins on their wings:smiling5::smiling5: Get better soon mate.

Hi Steve
This is a real lesson on what can be achieved if you're mad enough. A truly great job. I look forward to the primer coat.

Steve.
I'm blown away with this level of extreme detail you are achieving.
Now to read that you are to receive a rivet making punch, the madness will only increase.
From my extensive album of nature I have included a fly with wings outstretched.
Hope this is of help.

Steve - the ends of those handles look a bit bobbly. Are you using serrated pliers rather than flat smooth nose?

flat nose

[Steve Jones]

Hi Everyone

Thanks for you continued support Jim. The primer and base coats are on now:thumb2:
Brilliant mate! You know I am going to have to make one now JR. You have been warned:smiling5:
Three reasons why they are not the best handles Simon. Firstly I dont have flat nose pliers (Added to the list though - by the way Slaters Assorted Microstrip has been brought and is in the post:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2, so I had to use tweezers and the wire was too hard so used solder wire - not so good. Lastly its another process learnt but still need to master:smiling5:

[SimonT]

Hi Steve - no worries, the handles will look fine but you will notice a difference with flat nose smooth jaw pliers

Mine are essential for wire flattening, wire bending, pewter work and etch bending - I tend to use the pliers more than the proper etch bender

[JR]

Steve.
Thanks for that tip on the steering rod, that's the sort of thing I would have happen .
I notice the wires look like they were in a pair, how did you manage to keep them like that, or is there a plastic coating between them ?

Hi Steve
First coat of colour looks to have gone on nicely. Well done with the steering rod. The wire is probably better but just annoying that time was spent on clean up. You'd have thought the Mogglin Pixies would have broken it as you took it off the sprue rather than let you clean it up and then break it. They are contrary little buggers!!

Hi Everyone

Mr T - The flat noses are on their way:thumb2:
John. They were two different thickness of wire just stuck together
They are indeed Jim!:smiling5::smiling3: It's been a while since they have been around but they got me good this time:smiling4::thumb2:
