Dear Paul and Zoe, I have sent you a private message as requested. Kindest regards Ron

Try re-applying the Micro Sol with a clean brush as it looks like something was still in the brush when first applied. Ron

If anyone is an expert my friend...then it is most certainly you. Respect Ron

Very nice work mate.....washes are looking good Would love to get my hands on one of those engines and weather it in Ron

The tape is a good solution for holding small parts. Here is another one....https://www.emodels.co.uk/flex-i-file-sticky-micro-stix-smart-and-original-hold-2716.html Or....a trick I use....is to cut the point off a cocktail stick and apply a small blob of blue tac....similar to the above....but much cheaper! Advantage being you can access smaller/awkward areas. Regards Ron

No worries mate....just give me a shout when ready if you need me

Yes mate....you may have to do it twice tho....apply with the tip of your finger...let it go cloudy...then gently buff with the softest cloth (a cotton tshirt) until it goes clear again....don't use kitchen towel as it will scratch! (as will any paper towel). Ron

If I may.....polish it with toothpaste....preferably 'smokers'. Ron

Glad your back on this mate.....always a pleasure to see your work Certainly a mammoth task you have given yourself Respect Ron

Have sent you a PM For future reference....just click on the name of the person you want to message....when window opens....there is a button at the top right of the window "message"....click on that and enter the details and click send. Ron

Which part of it mate.....main pipes....mufflers....headers....branch pipes? PM me your e-mail address and I will try and lay out my method for you if you like. Ron

Hi mate....glad it made you laugh I think you mean this one..... I am begining to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel....so maybe....just maybe.....I will yet get to finish it ! Ron

Best news I have had this year mate Now get ya finger out and get modelling ya lazy git Respect Ron

Hi mate, to say I am deeply touched by your comments is a huge understatement. I hope you will understand when I say, I could never accept, or live with the thought that others funded my hobby. Yes it's pride, but more than that, it's self respect. My life problems are mine alone to deal with. I cannot thank you enough for the kind thought and gesture. Respect Ron
