        You will probably need to seal it first. Once you get it flat, varnish it all over. This will stop it absorbing or loosing any moisture and hence warping.

            Not much work....but I started to work on the tractor.
            The quality is good, and all fits perfect. Is a nice kit
            Just hope to paint a good weathering work there....

                The main subject on the scene will be the century tree. We will build it using the wire technique.

                We have been recollecting some different colour leaves, as some dried flowers and similar as well, that we expect use during the build.
                We are looking for real vegetation as much as possible...

                      [ATTACH]282569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282571[/ATTACH] Well...I can call it build.
                      I'm afraid to paint it by the moment, so I will leave for a while, and once I've been practiced again....I will go for it

                      It's a good kit and all fits perfect.
                      Maybe the PE are quite difficult to work, but I haven't any tool for them, so....
                      Just watch out and take your time with the steering, there is some complicated step there.

                              That is a cool layout you are attempting!

                              You have my attention!
