Paul,Alan,Rich,Ken, many thanks all for looking in and your positive comments. Much appreciated. Ken, they really are fun to build, i think i fancy the train next  . Prop Shaft, Steering wheel, column & DashboardNext we proceed to build the drive shaft (prop shaft). Straight forward push fit for all parts. I think the steering wheel is SO FUNKY! It even has a, what i can only think of being, a ignition retarder. You have probably seen them on classic cars to advance and retard the ignition to make the engine run smoothly. If you're wondering how it would be used, check here: https://www.hemmings.com...rk-of-Time/1627375.html
Anyway, plenty of wax used on the mating parts, and where it would rub up against rear of dashboard. Here is the result. CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Hi guys Thanks for looking in. You're right, Alan, i am enjoying building this kit  So much so, it's all i have been building lately  Here is today's update. Basically, it's just adding detail. Secured the rear chassis beam, made and installed the cooling fan and motion peg. Next i fitted the radiator grille (think it looks soooo cool), and made up the bonnet louvres (which hinge). Upper dashboard made and installed, followed by the chassis out-runners. Next comes the rear axle. Then she'll start to look like a proper car! CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Kev Hi Kev, Thanks for looking in. You're not wrong there mate Don't know if it will be a 'photo finish' though, my camera's just packed up    Here's what i managed to get before it broke. I think the wheels and 'tyres' are really cool . They are made up in 3 parts, just like the originals would have been. There's even a little tool to help put a dowel under the band You've just gotta love the ingenuity of this kits makers CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

This looks like a load of fun. The quality of the ply must be incredible to take the intricate shapes the wheels look awesome. Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Thanks for looking in The ply is quite strong,you think it will break but it doesn’t. It needs very little cleaning up, just a light sand, and the laser cutting is very precise.
