rollsroyce Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Kev That wheel and those gratings are brilliant bits of scratch building. I'm sure you said there was a gin stash on board somewhere earlier.... Cheers Guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks Guys The gin is safely hidden from you 'orrible lot Martin I see you've escaped again, they certainly didn't let you out for good behaviour SeanM Me sir OCD no sir surely not.................................... Julian I thought you'd been abducted by Martian's lot A very small update, been doing some soldering around the mast and Type 286 radar aerials Only problem.............. I'm afraid to breath in the same room. Could prove to be a problem Thanks for stopping by Kev 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Not a chance of that Kev. Carefully avoided references to scale to avoid embarrassing my self on-line (as far as that is still possible ) Gorgeous work mate, love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say though that I am impressed with the mast and aerials, no ifs or buts, just impressed. Now you are worried aren't you? Martian Edit: On reflection I think they let/kicked me out precisely because of my bad behaviour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for the encouragement folks ....... Julian I thought at our time of life we had given up being embarrassed......... Frank Now there is an idea TV aerials for dolls houses. I could even install them, don't mind being that far off the ground Hendie Nearly killed me when I pointed the blow torch at my thumb Dohh! Rob Telescoping brass tube, solder together. Smoothered with car body filler (Halfords P38 Easy Sand). Rotated / sanded in a battery screwdriver at slow speed. If you need to solder bits to mast give some thought to where you put the joints. 31 minutes ago, Martian Hale said: no ifs or buts, just impressed. Now you are worried aren't you? Now off to the institute and see if they will let me back in....................... (but thanks). Kev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev I doubt it for the very same reasons that they won't let me back in! Although in my case they did mutter something about bloody Martians and interplanetary health tourism.

Rob 1 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I like the amount of scratch building going on with this build, all looking the part; inspires the rest of us that we can have a go at some of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
