Hi Alan.
Thank you for your comments.
the cooper tiling is long winded job. I seem to be doing the second side a lot quicker than the first one.
Thanks for looking in IanBigGrin

Lovely work Ian especially on the tiling, looks as if you have that spot on.... Know when I eventually get round to building this one I will be following your example on tiling.... Drool Drool .. Keep up the great work but would like to know, is it your intention to keep the tiles shining with a protective coating or will you leave them to tarnish naturally??.. Will be following and look forward to seeing the final tile put in place..... Cool Cool

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan.
Thank you for your kind comments.
I personaly like the shiny tile look, and i also like the dull look.
I think i will have to look at how much i will have to clean bits of the glue that gets on the face of the tiles on side one as i tried variuos types of glue until i settled for Evostick seriuos glue which comes off of the tiles quite easily when it has dried. i will have to have a look at trevors build diary and have a read of his cleaning up of tiles i seem to remember his ideas where very good.
Thanks again for looking.

Wow! Tile after tile after tile. I am a long way from having to do that on my Victory. It sure does change the overall feel/ look of the model. It will indeed look great when you are done.

Keep up the good work.
