Craig

Looking very nice buddy with some great work achieved so far, flippin` patience of a saint doing them tie-downs, and as for soldering..................................... scary stuff!!!!!, but i know you will do it to your usual high standards mate !!

 

`Boots`

Great attention to detail here, Craig. I would not have the patience for those tie downs!

Thanks lads, i must admit that half way through one side i was wishing i hadn't bothered but it was not to bad in the end.

 

Craig

Totally worth it when the paint goes on though. I was very glad I did the ones on my MkVII churchill (although there were a few less!) and great for tying stowage to

 

 

Nice rack to build Craig, that should be fun and I'd definitely go with some old etch fret and possibly solder.  Even though I got it sussed it still fills me with a kind of dread thinking about it due to all those times I just couldn't get it right. Then reading about it in a model ship book made me have one more try and it worked a treat on the Hetzer fenders. Still need to perfect it though.

 

As the guys have said Craig those tie down look great and they'll be fun to weather, they'll look a treat.

If anything it should be fun Mark but i have to build two

 

Thanks for the interest lads.

 

Craig

 Two, ouch  It'll be well worth it though mate

Another little update. The rear deck was next to get the basic parts ready for some extra additions of my own.

 

Blank canvas...

 

Addition of engine covers...

 

And then the furnishings including some replacement brass handles. I will be adding some extra fine chain details o the filler caps

 

More tomorrow.

 

Craig

Good work Craig. It looks like, overall, the detail isn't bad on this one, but I'm looking forward to seeing your improvements
