Thank you kindly Alan, they are coming on - try to give them a bit of character. OC.

Thank you so much Tim, its all about finding a way of holding them and finding a steady hand position and controling your breathing - I find the more I do of them the better they become - Oh and decent magnification with optovisors is really important. OC.

Looking Great Denis - Rabbit Hole - "Go On - you know you want to" I think you will be kicking yourself if you dont. OC.

My only real experience of train carriages is as a grounds keeper for an ex boss he used to live in an old converted railway station complete with the old platform - he decided one day to buy and have transported over an old BR sleeper carriage the old type with seperate compartments with pull down beds, any way - he forst wantedn me to re paint the whole thing in BR Red and Black Tar roof, then he decided he wanted the inside wrippped out using just angle grinders - nice work, I was on this job for about Six months.😒☹️ OC.

I guess you have some freedom with the counter as the second planking and the counters first could join covering any gaps or profile. I might be wrong but thats how it looks like it might work Mark. OC.

Best remedy "count One two three" and repeat as needed. OC.

As Mark said - lots of variations on the theme. OC.

So very true. OC.

Interesting - guess if you wanted to go down a "Display the inside" set up - wonder if you could fabricate a see through side, trouble is that would take away its real life look. All that interior detail in yours is Gorgeous - same situation as my Chally so much locked away inside not to be seen. OC.
-
Yes indeed brother - still can't believe it. Corrected it now. OC.
-
Superb work my friend and a really enjoyable read, you finished her off lovely with tha contrasting Black and wood. Whats your next project? OC.

I too built this kit along with @harlequin and @hamilton we all experienced the same kit shorfalls - the miss shaped frames needing packing out and the akward reear counter and bending the first planking around both the stern and bow. Just keep at it enjoy what you do - its a learning curve that we all go through - evet inch forward is something oyu have learned for the next build. OC.

40K Views - Thank You all so much for getting it to so many views - can't believe it my friends. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan - Wow that is some amount of views😍 OC.

Excellent work Edward, I think the Pedal Thingy's are "Variable control pressure - combined plates using a leg muscle movement control - that initiates a control movement and actuation via a fine system linkage through put device, that in turn moves other device thingy's at the rear of the plane to make it fly or crash" Or something like that😁 OC.
