This is what 62 hrs can get you. Including time spent on the floor looking for the little bits that I keep dropping again and again and again!!!

Gents I keep looking at this and keep thinking there is something missing and I've got all these long tubey bits left in the box any ideas what they might be for?!!

Many thanks for the comments. Been a while since I posted last. Unfortunately work has been getting in the way, along with the news that I will be a grand father in June next year!!!! All a bit much to take in.o_O

Long tubes ??? No idea whats they might be

This looks really good so far, looks like the ends in sight now!

Congrats for the good news, hope all goes well in June.

You got any clear, round bits in the box? If so they might be lenses to fit in the tubes to make a microscope to help you find all those bits.

CDW - many thanks.

Gern - I thought the tubes could be for a Vacuum to collect the parts!! Have ever considered changing your name to Yosarian? :P

Hi all,

A some-what belated Happy New Year to you all.

Life has had a nasty habit of getting in the way of building.

Couple of pics to show where I am at. Still a way to go but all heading the right direction and thinking of the display base.

Became a grandfather in June and had a bit of adjustment to do.

Leopald is coming along nicely with some detail work to do and the remainder of the gun barrel to finish. I'll probably finish the detailing when display is finished. Some photos attached for your pleasure or not!! Have also included a few pics of the diesel shunter I thought I'd add in.

As always all feed back, good and bad, will be gratefully received

Hi bazars.

Apologies for taking so long to reply not been on the forums for a while. Yes the little parts always bounce the furthest and always into the most awkward places!!

Its almost like they are trying to escape..
