Dads203 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Very nice detail. When will we be painting this? It's going to be while, still a ton of PE yet to add and resin, Indi track links and I've got too correct the running gear and suspension. The Tamiya stock suspension sits a few mm too high so I suspect that they measured up just an empty hull with no inner components. Don't want too put a time frame on it just yet Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Small update, front PE headlight guards are now soldered up, quite fiddly to get these lined up as they have some gentle curves, still i'm quite chuffed on how they came out. Nuts and bolts with a rear support to be added yet. Cheers Dan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thank you chaps, build is still going on slowly, and the lack of updates is down to An outage with BT infinity, looks like a burst water main has knocked out part of the fibre network For most of the day, no internet access until now. I've done the other light guard and support bracket now and now I'm working on the headlights with a view Of replacing the lens with MV items.

Mike Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I do wonder how a water main manages to burst when it's not even cold. Hydraulic erosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I do wonder how a water main manages to burst when it's not even cold. Hydraulic erosion? We had no water first thing this morning and upon checking the Internet found that it was down also, rumour has it that the water board Dug through the fibre trying to fix the water main. So an eventful day all in all. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 That sounds about right. Did you have the passing-of-the-buck that usually happens with internet problems? It's surprising how quickly that sort of thing gobbles up your day, talking to after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Both headlight guards are now done and in place. New travel lock bracket added for the new travel lock. More to follow later. Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 How far away from the paint booth (back door) are we? 2/3 weeks I reckon, I've just sprayed the interior of the drivers compartment black loads to do on the running gear yet like correcting the bump stops and rebuilding the shock absorbers, not too mention the putting the fruil tracks together.
