The long-awaited steering hub has finally arrived, almost two months after ordering! All that was required for completion was to install the steering wheel, and then re-install the coachwork and complete the headlight wiring. I also replaced the damaged Alfa decal on the front nose. That took me no more than a few hours yesterday afternoon.  Today I did a final glam photo shoot. I would have taken the model outside for this, but it’s been raining here for the last two weeks and showing no sign of easing up. Had to settle for an indoor shoot instead. Here are the final results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One final comment. This build would not have been possible without the guidance of the wonderful supplementary instructions and photos from Paul Koo. Here is a couple of photos to show the difference. The Pocher instruction manual is on the left: 26 pages, mainly of exploded diagrams. On the right, the 16 booklets of instructions and photo essays from Paul Koo, and that’s not counting the hundreds more photos of inventory parts, completed models, and reference photos. 

 

 

 

Thanks to all who have followed along and provided encouragement and support. I hope you have enjoyed following the build as much as I have in doing it. Now I can focus on completing my Medway Longboat for a while.

 

Wow! Great job! Looking at all the details for 15 minutes now.

Well here are a few picks of what I came up with. I realize now that the hooks I put in the blocks were not at the correct angle but I did them according to the instructions which was a fairly simplified method. Hope you like them I went with a fairly small coil on sled line and larger for the carriage. Cheers ~

 

 

Appreciate all the help and picks provided. I am fairly happy for my first go at these  

 

  

I'm new to modeling. This is so awesome! Fantastic details, proportions, colors. Really inspiring me!
