To me it looks much better and you can see by how much gap there is between the roof and the top of the windows how much I have lowered them. I havent figured out the best way to fill that gap yet!

James Hilton 3,774 Posted August 3, 2010 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? Link to comment
hayfield 16,175 Posted August 3, 2010 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. Link to comment
BernardTPM 6,519 Posted August 3, 2010 I think you've got about the right balance there; it's looking good! Link to comment

2mm Andy 1,122 Posted August 4, 2010 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! Andy Link to comment
-missy- 3,834 Posted August 5, 2010 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! M. Link to comment
