Gremlin56 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 NIce update, it's amazing the result, cheers Gremlin Thank you Francis, more to come Cor looking good! Like the extra detail your adding Kev Thanks Kev, I now have two bloody great brake drums to build which attach to the drive wheels and naturally do not fit at all Much head-scratching, frowning and "expletive's deleted" going on at the moment :oops: Time for a beer and some serious puzzling how to get this all to fit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nice and steady work Gremlin. Those little details all add up mate. Looking good. Simon. My "amazing Katana style reaming blade Sukei Mura incredible sharp blade thingy can't think of any more knife thingy" has helped to remove a lot of paint and some plastic so the brake drums fit. The wire guard thingies to stop you losing pieces of finger have been fitted as well. Might even get this looking reasonable Can thoroughly recommend said "amazing Katana style reaming blade Sukei Mura incredible sharp blade thingy can't think of any more knife thingy" because of in spite of non-ergonomic name the bloody thing does work even if it has to have a habit of cutting chunks of fingers off.......................................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Stunning work Julian , you really are doing this build justice fella, you should go for the big KT as we will all need To see more of your magic after this build Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks Dan, still a long road to travel on this build. Enjoying this build very much with the challenges being put down by me and not by Trumpeter. The JT is a sort of beacon on the horizon though so who knows what might come after this build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Where can one obtain a " Katana style reaming blade Sukei Mura "? I googled it and it came up with a site for deviants " The JT is a sort of beacon on the horizon though so who knows what might come after this build " Would this beacon also be leading to the new larger house/workshop ? Various type/sizes of mesh here http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Meshes___Mailles.html Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 30/4 update: Right hand side brake fitted, weathering in process. The left hand side brake has been given a ground coat. Fit is still good. There is a lot of detailing that will disappear behind a nice and solid cover 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
