Good to see you back at the bench Scottie.

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see the family allowed you a small corner somewhere on the property mate :tears-of-joy: :smiling2: :thumb2:

Allen is a top man for sending you the kit. Looking forward to seeing how you cope with the resin.

The maestro is back .
Pete.

Thanks Pete, but far from being that.

Just seen this one Paul, but it looks like I’ve not missed anything. Pulled my chair up now, so you may start if you want.

Ian not alot done at the moment so welcome aboard.

Yes indeed a very generous gift. At least I have a space so all good.

Looks an interesting build, I've never done a resin kit, so it will be interesting to see how you do this one. Car SOS restored an Austin Tilly, repeats are on More4, worth a watch.

Chair pulled...sorry l'm late...

Graeme,
It's a first for me as well and not as easy as i thought. I have seen that episode it was a good restoration.

No worries you haven't missed much good to see you.

Ooh, that sounds ominous.

Nothing to exciting to show. it must be my CA, because despite washing all the resin before I started it doesn't like sticking together. The interior is pretty basic I just added some door handles and window winders. Before gluing the cab to the base. I will fit the steering column when it is painted as I dont want to snap it off when I push some sponge inside when painting.

I drilled through the body just behind the radiator to fit a copper wire for the headlights and a thinner wire for the cables. Next the side lights were scratched and added as the one of the resin ones was 50% hole.

The front steering was very roughly scratched to provide a location point for the front wheels as the white metal parts were miss formed and didnt look very strong.

Finally the canvas rail supports were added and some tie down hooks scratched out of copper wire.







cheers

Hi Scottie
Nice start. Little extras well worth while. CA is odd stuff. Sometimes it sticks no problem and yet at other times you might as well be using water. What really baffles me is when you need to stick a few identical pieces and they all stick straight first time except one - and then after half a dozen failures you get that one to finally stick but its crooked!! :angry:

Hi Scottie, what's the difference in detail between this and the Tammy one. Looks like quite a lot of deformed parts encountered. But you're fixing it well. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

[JR]

Maybe grease or age of the CA Paul, i've had both. Anyway I agree with Jim's post on the sticking.

Scottie,
Always break out a new tube of CA at every start of a build. Better if you can get those tiny quick fix tubes and use those without feeling the pinch of wasting the remainder of the tube contents.

Cheers,
Richard

Jim,
Your right on every count it always bonds instantly when in the wrong place. :tongue-out3:

You could be right John this is the tube i opened before I moved so is probably off.
