Rubber bands are boring, anyone can do those  . These are for the true modellers  , or the plain and simply mad

Where did that last week go. Somewhere in this lot there's 196 track links. 
And once again, seeing this makes me thrilled that I only build in 1/72 scale!
Way to go on this, you got this licked man!

Now, I'm not moaning, this kit just fell together, it really did, however I think I'm one for struggling with indipendent links. Three hours just to remove em from the spru  And some think its therapeutic

Well after staring at these for too long worrying I made a start. They actually go together better than actually cutting them off the spru.

Funny that's exactly what I did, stare at the buggers for ages before building. they do work very well and look great once assembled.

I’m in the therapeutic camp. Sit in front of the TV with a lap tray and a few bowls, a good pair of snips, a new nail file and before you know it Father Brown has solved the case and you’ve got a set of tracks ready to assemble. A beer or glass of wine is optional but recommend.
