    I use viacal for smaller kits and then a final rince in celeose thinners before spraying, but shiny sinks is used most of the time. Ian G

    A little more progress on the G6, chassis soldered together, smoke box and boiler semi built, and a test fitting of chassis and basic body. Ian G

    The little gadget I picked up at a model engineering exhibition, it was designed for the model aircraft fraternity, to aid cutting out fine etches, In the pack you get 3 sheets of purspexs and the clear plastic top part, the idea is that you place your etch on the black bit, press down with the clear bit right next to the half etch tag, and with a curved blade rock back and forwards to remove the tag, thus not damaging the fine etch, it worked a treat with little cleaning of the part.

    Now the chassis is square and aligned correctly I have moved onto the foot plate and body. I have a little gadget for cutting the spectical rings out that I picked up some time ago. Ian G

    on to the chassis, I found when I fitted this to the jig the holes did not line up with the con rods, so after setting the to outer axels I found the centre one being 1/2 mm to low so opened the hole out and rechecked. Ian G

    Brian that beast is look very good, 1 or 2 is all that is needed for the size of many layouts me thinks, JeffP after building many MMP dogfish and understanding the way they are designed, and Simon is producing other needed items for us modellers, things like this take time to get it right, I am sure that once you get into the intricasies of etch design and production that you will find it takes a long time Ian G

    After many months of study and a long break til September but with a few projects still to finish. I am back at my bench with a little offering from Scorpio Models in the form of a GWR crocodile, my second kit of this model, the first being one of my early large brass wagon kits that I built. The story so far about 6 hours work to emboss all the rivets, cut out, clean and fold the main parts of ther kit. Ian G
