Rght as i am going to be seeing Lancaster Green Ayre in the flesh at Ally Pally and I have done enough playing with the part brake 3rd etches to feel confident enough to go for a real coach.
Tonight's plan was to identify and separate / clean up the chassis parts. I just need to dig out my home made gas cylinders ,The short foot step supports and Westinghouse reservoirs, the rest is done as per the pic below.
Tomorrow night will be simpler push through the rivets
This will be a stage by stage with any notes on fiddly bits and how i over come them
Tip one to remove the little pips left from when you remove the etches from the runners a small whetstone is very usefull
