A labour of love and dedication. It will be worth it.

As it should be, a modeling mantra for us all

Those milling bits seemed absolutely invaluable for that task!
Do you mind me asking where you got them from?

Much appreciated Brian. Thanks :thumb2:

I think I need a break from this so going to take a couple of days :smiling3:



there is 3 stages, small corner holes, open with 1.7mm drill, file to whatever shape. So as you can imagine going to take a while and the clear is a lot more difficult.

A few little jobs before a couple of days off.

Your bench & work product are sinfully clean & organized. You must be a charter member of the Tidy Bench Club.

I was thinking the same. I don't think he is actually modelling at all I thing the sprue elves do a bit then tidy up.

Ron kindly pointed out my flag is upside down :flushed: will fix it later

Brian, some folks might call it nit picking. (hence my P.M. to you) I prefer the word 'help'. We are all here to help each other where we can.

Usually, the swasti ticka arms point clockwise.

All looking great!
