Hi Zak,

No doubt the Maestro has to have time off to recharge after so much fantastic modelling!

I'm on the modelling saddle again, but I don't think I'll catch Zak 'The Hare' with his modelling output.

Well, I have been able to do a bit more today.
I see that you lot have been busy!
More work on the engine and associated bits.
I formed the track guards (mudguards) around the balsa former and then heated them up and allowed them to cool.
I did not take photos of all the bits, I had done the radiator and fuel tank earlier and so just added then, they are not yet stuck in position.

Oh Bugger!

I'm never going to catch you up! Are you nuclear powered?

Very nice work though, very nice!

Bigkev

[zak]

No, I am mostly green, powered that is.

Hi Zak,

I don't care what ecological coloured you are, I still won't catch you up, will I ......................................?

Perhaps if I sabotage your computer..................? or glue your fingers together?

It's still very good work, darn it!

Thanks Kev, it always looks better on the photos, just wish I had more patience, or maybe a 3d printer.........mmmmm that's a thought.
Cheers
Dave

This will be a bit slower now as I put half my efforts into a model for the next competition.

I've got some Tamiya mud, yours if you want it.

[zak]

I haven't reached the mud stage yet.
I may need it to cover up the mistakes/bad modelling though.
Some painting done.

That looks truly amazing, I don't know how you manage to paint it assembled.

Its all done by mirrors and slight of hand, not forgetting the smoke.
Some parts were removed and painted and then stuck down after.
