What a difference that paint makes Chris.
Sorry I've only just seen this lot of updates, as you can see unable to sleep again so up at this very early time.
Just had a cup of tea and something to eat and a check up the forum.
As you say a lot of fiddly intricate painting, esp on those steps.( They'd never pass British Standards for stairs would they :smiling3

Your going to have to take Jen out for another meal at this rate !

It's a wowee from me Chris, the transformation with the paint on gets her looking more like the Tiger. Fiddly stuff worth the effort.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Chris
I just get more and more impressed with each update. Really interesting to see the level of detail at this stage of the build.
