Finished the wheelhouse.

Hi all more done to the wheelhouse.

Did some work on the wheelhouse.

Great job of it.

More work on this one, did some more to the sails rigging and made a start on the rear boats station. The supports for the rear boat station are too short (we'll in fact the first one is too short as the ship is wider there so I had to widen the gunwale to accommodate it.

Thanks guys,yes I agree Colin this is the nicer version.

Hi all the next spar has all the block and tackle added. And the sail Added the spar and sail Don't know why I left off here but I didn't finish the paneling when I shelved this.

Sorry to hear that mate, my sincere condolences. Good to see family and friends.

Thanks Steve, how's things going.

Started on the next spar (I forgot how detailed these are) (Not finished yet)

Pics in daylight.

OK so she's back on the bench first thing is to get rid of 18 months of dust It was a lot harder than you might think. Next problem knowing where I left off.

Outstanding.

It built up well, no flash at all and well detailed

Hi all well its done. Now this is finished( and after I've done the cobra) I've promised myself I'm going to finish some of my stalled builds. Probably not of interest to you car guys but this is one. And some of these.

Hi all hopefully this will be finished tomorrow.

Started some weathering (don't want it to look showroom condition) I also don't want it to look like an old jalopy. Looking at the pics looks like the rear hinge has broken free (again)

I think make the bonnet first then use that with the pins in to place the radiator cowl ( there is a bit of play between rad and cowl) so it would be ok to fit rad then adjust by moving the cowl.

Hi all more progress

Hi all well its as good as I'm going to get it.

Hi all first disappointing bit of the kit so far, spent 2 hrs trying to get the bonnet to fit, still not happy with it not sure what to do next to improve fit.

More done to the Alfa, the underneath is finished so on to the top ( those nuts are 1.4mm the hole I drilled in them is 0.3mm) the drilling was easy threading that wire through the hole was another story. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't started it, on the other hand it does make quite a difference to the overall look. The exhaust is not fixed I just wanted to see how it looked. The radiator to bulkhead brace I made out of copper wire the thing supplied in the kit is so flimsy (the only bad bit in the whole kit.

Hi all I'm really enjoying this kit, fit is great, no flash at all( I've seen some bad reviews of this kit, all I can say is they haven't built it or are not modelers)

Hi all did more work on the engine and the cockpit And more work underneath.

OK so I've added locknut detail to the radiator cowling ( loads more of that to add ) added the advance/ retard mechanism and the low tension leads to the coil and to the distributor (still to make the condenser)
