Disaster :(
I dropped the bloody thing while I was having a move around, it fell 6ft from a shelf. 
BUT... We can rebuilt it.

Fantastic work Dave. Lots of progress.
Is that a Smoky Joe Chassis??
It certainly is.

Hello Mr Haddock,
Superb skills... ..somethings never change.
Ive been looking at 3D printers myself. The resin ones seem better for small parts.
Cheers all.

Had a disaster day with these two a couple of weeks ago
so have had time out!
Picked up recently and have admitted defeat on patterned cloak.
Still progressing but heading for the shelf of shame!

I could do with your MK1 eyeballs for this one Mr Haddock.
Wings!! BIG WINGS...Here they are... I can just fit both in the spray booth. Its going to cost me a fortune in paint.
You can see the motor directly behind the prop.  You get 4 Merlin's in the kit but I have just built one into my offering. This means I have 3 Merlin's going spare. ::)
For my own sanity I have chosen to concentrate my efforts on the functionality of this kit more than super detail.  Good move... Bad move?? We will see.
Thanks all for now.

Have tried them both ways Andy - looking inwards it just looks like 4 soldiers about to beat each other up - so its outward facing for the finished model.
I see and totally agree.  8)

So here's the fix... I hope. ;D
I bought some brass watch bushes. Now, they don't quite fit the prop bosses but after adding some heat shrink wire insulation and trimming to length they fit quit nicely without any glue.
I then mounted the motors directly behind the props witch takes out some more of the 'wobble'.
The kit spinners don't spin totally true but I think I'm getting there. Time will tell.
The wings are almost built now. more pics tomorrow.
Thanks all.

This is my effort to try and avoid the 'wabbly prop syndrome'.
The picture shows the white 3D printed shaft you get to link the motor to the prop, however the shaft dose not run true.
What to do..

Fantastic diorama Kev.  Well executed and quite powerful, You could easily feel sorry for those figures in the water.
Well done.
