RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted December 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2013 another 3/4 hour and the doors are on and 5 hinges! (zoom eyes please Pete ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted December 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 19, 2013 A bit more progress, hinges have been added to the LHS and a good general cleanup of excess solder has been done. I like to do this as I go and keep the brass as clean as possible using either Cillit Bang or Bar Keepers Friend as it makes soldering easier and you don't get a mammoth cleanup task at the end of construction Handrails next after the hinges are on the front and RHS ...... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted December 24, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2013 Last update for this year I fear, can't see me being able to wield the soldering iron of the festive period - I'll be too busy with Josh's Lego So, first the grinder box and how it is an interference fit between the frame rails and the cab as it stands - I've not fitted the seats or other resin parts Roof is next then hopefully Charlie will have sent me the wheels and I can look to get it running again 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted December 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 29, 2013 As I received a consignment of wheels from DC Kits over Xmas (thanks Charlie!) I found time to rebuild the bogies with the correct 12mm wheels - here's a quick vid of it negotiating the only track I have at home ahead of the house move - it's not supposed to handle 1st raduis curves! cheers Ian 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think Pete's waiting for me to make all the mistakes first I'm currently looking at lighting leds with Express Models ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think Pete's waiting for me to make all the mistakes first I have built eight grinders and they go together well but to prove a kit for sale it needs to be built independently, so far Ian's build has helped to fine tune the instructions and has gone together well and he still has quite a bit to build.
