Ooooh!! That is nice. Thanks for the ariel shots. Looks like I could have been driving it with all that fender damage:smiling5:. Wonderful detailing as always. It really is a stunning piece of work. Look forward to seeing the next update. Have you had a chance to finish the tracks yet??

Simon,
Fantastic work, now I have seen the effect you can get from copper sheet mud guards I will be looking at that tip for a future build.
Cheers, Mike.

Peter, Jim, Paul, Steve, Rick, Mick, Scottie, Mike, Si, John, Graeme, Lee, Monica, Bob - thank you all very much for the positive comments :thumb2:

This one has been chugging on slowly in the background - finally got all the track links drilled out :sleeping: 640 holes is rather mind numbing so it has taken a while

Made a start on assembly but only got about 5cm long section so far - the pins on this set are really tiny and I have already launched five to infinity and beyond never to be seen again

Much more fiddly than the previous Masterclub sets I have assembled

I can see I shall be needing to make some more pins by the end

Assembly will continue a few links at a time so it may be a while before there is another update - I need to get the Range Rover finished as well

Morning John - that's an early start!

I started to post this last night and fell asleep :smiling5:

Just woken up and finished the post - suppose I had better get out of bed and ready for work (at home)

Morning Steve - well done that man. If this is morning break time you must have had a really early start :surprised:

The SU has suffered a little damage to the fuel can racks during it's down time so that will need fixing
