Now that's it pretty much to a tee Missy! Awesome. Could I suggest soldering in some brass with low melt and then using filler/filing to smooth? Or if it's a plastic roof then use araldite or similar to fill with some plastic or brass roughly to shape and use filler to smooth and finish?

Recently I have used Milliput to fill gaps and build up parts which have broken, it can be shaped to size/design, once cured sticks fast and can be sanded or carved to shape. Stays workable for some time.

Tonight I brought some quick set metal epoxy (thought it was quick set epoxy glue).I have tried it on glueing some whitemetal parts together, its quite thick so can be used as a filler. Says on the box it can be drilled, sanded, tapped and painted. I have left a blob on a test piece to try out these claims.

I think you've got about the right balance there; it's looking good!

Hi Missy,

I think you've cracked it - that looks pretty good to me.

At least doing the other end will be a bit quicker and easier!

Hello

Thanks guys! Its a bit of a relief as this was starting to turn into a whitemetal kit with the amount of solder I have been adding!
