Woodwork is looking fab! And love your new 'jump seat' idea

I think, in the day, they would have gone for a "tight" two-seater but the single looks good.

Ok trying flicker
The red bits framing the seating areas will have padding when I find something suitable.

Yes. Actually, I think your new back seat improves her appearance

Buzzbomb · « **Reply #32 on:** June 13, 2020, 08:06:22 AM »

Awesomeness

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #33 on:** June 13, 2020, 11:35:37 AM »

Will you be adding a "drip pan" under the motor as part of your display?

Also, great work on making this model look so easy to build.

Hi all, done a lot of work on it over the weekend.

I've got big ambitions to make the throttle linkages up (we will see how far the ambition gets compared to how much skill and patience I have) I must say I'm quite pleased with how shes looking at the moment.

Ps look what I just ordered (cant wait for it to get here)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #35 on:** June 15, 2020, 02:12:53 AM »

Outstanding!

Buzzbomb · « **Reply #36 on:** June 15, 2020, 02:00:06 PM »

Awesome work

Old Wombat · « **Reply #37 on:** June 15, 2020, 07:23:13 PM »

Brilliant!

kpnuts · « **Reply #38 on:** June 17, 2020, 03:45:49 AM »

Hi all made the advance and retard mechanism and started the throttle linkages.

finsrin · « **Reply #39 on:** June 17, 2020, 10:39:51 AM »

Is there some shrink raying and trick photography going on here

Usually is!

kpnuts · « **Reply #41 on:** June 18, 2020, 03:37:43 AM »

One side of the throttle linkage

kpnuts · « **Reply #42 on:** June 19, 2020, 04:07:07 AM »

Well that's the throttle and advance and retard mechanism done on one side(the easy side)

kpnuts · « **Reply #43 on:** June 21, 2020, 10:31:58 PM »

Nearing completion now.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #44 on:** June 22, 2020, 02:21:55 AM »

kpnuts · « **Reply #45 on:** June 25, 2020, 03:37:43 AM »

Well its finally done and now ready for the spares drawer till I think of something else to do with it.

Buzzbomb · « **Reply #46 on:** June 25, 2020, 07:40:35 AM »

Really nice work.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #47 on:** June 25, 2020, 05:57:26 PM »

Exceptional work!

I still can't get over how you can build something that good then relegate it to "the Spares Drawer".

elmayerle · « **Reply #48 on:** June 25, 2020, 08:42:18 PM »

Beautiful!! That deserves display rather than the Spares Drawer.

kpnuts · « **Reply #49 on:** June 26, 2020, 04:50:37 AM »

It's a lack of space, and once it's done I loose interest almost immediately.
