    Nice work Frank - it's easy to forget just how good a decent unpainted whitemetal kit looks when clean and shiny. If the 10 series isn't powerfull enough it might be worth trying a 12 series. A flywheel is a worthy addition if there's enough room. Paul.

      Nah - the chickens are drunk - so much that they're legless.

    Interesting ideas. For the morning/evening scenario, would you have two lighting rigs, or one adjustable rig, to allow the shadows to change during the day? Paul.

    A trick of the light Dave. I have 3 lamps illuminating my workbench, any combination of which are used for photography depending on how the light falls on the subject. Paul.

    RMweb certificates - thats wot we wont. 100 posts - you get a certificate. Reputation hits 50 - you get another. Then while yer man York is busy sorting all of these certificates out we can run riot on the main forum without him noticing...

    Yes, they are axleboxes, as seen here. The diagonal struts are actually chain tensioners, 48 and 88DS Rustons are chain drive, chains are tensioned by turning the struts to move the axle backwards or forwards.

    They seem to be popular with overpaid bicycle mechanics, Park make a nice one, which seems expensive but its actually one of the cheaper ones... Paul.

    Me and my other half just had a barking mad mountain bike ride in the high wind. All her idea!

    I should really have mentioned them Jan, and they're not that easy to spot in the photos. There is a rear bonnet former supplied in the kit which butts up to the cab front, however its unnecessary (stated in the instructions) so I didn't use it. I should have mentioned that as well... Paul.

    Prieser did a snowman in a set including a Father Christmas and some children - bit expensive though! I reckon that a stooped figure struggling up the road towards the cottage looking decidedly miserable would be quite apt given the amount of snow on the ground! Paul.
