longshanks Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 An area of concern has been replicating the railings. The kit consists of the teak hand rail and some knibs where the other rails go. Total height of rails 4.5mm Using my swiveling vice and peg weights I've managed to lay and glue the additional rails. No mean feat with an involuntary tremor in my hand. Calling that a result, well pleased Stay safe Kev 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, clothes pegs are very useful, I use them quite a bit in modelling. I believe they can also be used for hanging washing on the line. 🙂 Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman 3:16 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I am also impressed with the additional railings. Can I ask what you used: thread, wire or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 @robgizlu @beefy66 @The Baron etc. Thanks for the support guys..... The truth is I'm suffering with a chronic illness a side effect of which is a tremor in my left hand. This now at a point where I can't use a fork in my left hand. Not conducive to small scale modelling..... I'm now trying to do something in a much larger scale So here's hoping Kev i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hey, Kev. Sorry to hear about your health issue. But, it's nice to see you trying to soldier on with the Citroen build. Coincidently, my wife was watching an old Rosemary & Thyne episode on TV earlier this week where the lead characters were driving one of these 'beasts' on the French Riviera. No rust though. Best wishes for a successful build. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Not a nice thing to hear that Kev but at least you are still building something even if it is a French rust bucket and you just know all the reprobate's will support you along the way I suppose a pigeon and nest will be out of the question with the Citroen.
