Any seats left please Paul ?
I'll stand if need be , I laughed out loud when I read as Neil saw " not going overboard "
Hope you keep going and produce another of your great builds .
Is that cross bar on the steering a piece of copper that you have made ?

[Lee Drennen]

I’ll be seated by John Paul. Amazing work so far keep the details coming.

Hello John, always a space for you mate. Yes mate its a piece of 0.6mm copper wire with the ends flattened and drilled.

I’ll be seated by John Paul. Amazing work so far keep the details coming.

As a patologic latecomer, I'm sneaking in on my tip-toes for this very interesting build.

Cheers Jakko, but your scratching is putting mine to shame.

This chassis is not for the faint of heart there are a lot of pieces that require a lot of clean up and dubious locations. I have added a little detail to the springs and some air lines to the tank.





I have replaced these items on the back axle as the "spring" had a massive seam which was nearly impossible to remove. I say spring in inverted commas as they may be boggy blockers as the axle is sprung via normal leaf springs, or they may be indeed springs added to help soak up the recoil from the gun.



cheers
Scottie

[Steve Jones]

Wonderful additions my friend. Well worth all the hard work

No, not really — your skill at building fine bits neatly is far greater than mine. I look at your pictures and wish I could do it like that

[Mickc1440]

More great work Scottie, hope it doesn't drive you nuts and have an accident

Hi Scottie
Looking good. Great scatchery.
As for the scratching skills of Jakko and yourself - in the words of John Wayne in Rio Bravo "I'd hate to have to live on the difference" :smiling: :thumb2:

Cheers Steve I hope so, not doing to much to the chassis as most of it wont be seen.
