progressing nicely with this build but thought a quick update would be in order to show you all the blastpipe/steam pipe casting that fits under the side exhaust pipe. here's a before photo just after cutting it from the sprue

and here's another after 15 mins carving with a sharp knife with a good photo of the real thing to compare with

Probably the part that needed the most work, maybe would be better in whitemetal. Note a small amount of filler where there were air bubbles.

Apart from this I have been getting on with handrails and pipwork etc, still need some guitar string to do the insulated pipework (the customer does have a guitar ...) Should be ready for a coat of paint by the end of the week
