Thank you kindly Mike, boy is it fiddly and delicate - and can not be rushed, I use the old fashioned way to remove and bend the PE - sharp blade then blade and tweezer flat end to hold the PE while I use the blade to bend it, then holding it with tweezers to glue in place is tricky - takes great skill to keep my hand still enough during this. OC.

Hi all, I had my normal Saturday off so I could relax infront of the tv, anyway onwards on Sunday where I will be battling with somemore Paper Extreme (PE) with a few more sections of Railings and short ladders on the conning tower. OC.

I so love your detail and painting Greg - its getting to a ridiculous stage now where the model is merging into realism - due to a craftsman's skill - lovely to watch. OC.

Just did a calculation - those railings are a Huge 1.2mm tall - no wonder thay are hard to handle. OC.

Evening all, today was "trying the impossible" time - bending and fitting some conning tower rails, I fitted one of the ladders - that was "easy peazy" but the rails - boy was it difficult as its all ready been mentioned this PE is tissue paper thin and if a fold line is bent to much it breaks off, I am not even attempting to fit a couple of levels up - but think what I have fitted is ok. OC.

Thats coming along really well Alan - love the touch with the headlamps - I did similar on my Chally 2 build I used a bit of that acrylic clear water I have, you really are mamking a really interesting looking vehicle here. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan, yep all the small parts are seperate - takes the utmost skill just to cut them away from the spru's - then you have to hope they dont "ping off" mind you I have found a certain way of gluing them down - I make a small pool of glue on the side of my cutting mat then while holding the part with my teezers I touch the part to be gluid in the glue then place it down, if I tried to use the Revell glue needle even that is too wide and too much glue would come out on the area to be glued. OC.
