Thanks, Paul. More than likely I will. Just a little bit later in the day. So we now have a second track. Went much easier than the first side but was still a trial. As with the first some minor adjustments will be made but at least it's on there. Going to let this set a while then off with the roadwheels and on with some paint. AAACW

Easy road ahead Jeff no rubber wheels to paint, just hit the running surfaces with a pencil and that will do

Thanks, Boys. Paul, I thought the same thing about the wheels but I'm not sure. These look rubbery to me. It's at Aberdeen. So finally some real progress. Tracks painted and Roadwheels on. A little wonky in spots but they will work, I think. AAACW

I shall bow to those with more knowledge than I. The correction shall be made. Bits and bobs. Rear Hull. I managed to lose one of the shackle mounts so made some up and put them in place. Slowly forward. AAACW

She's coming along fine there Jeff . That colour on the wheels of the Aberdeen vehicle is probably black paint, added to stop the rusting after the last outer overhaul . You should be able to see all you need in here:

You could leave the black on them as a base for graphite to simulate a steel color buddy .

Glad I could help, Paul. Carl, Good idea, Dude. I'll give it a run and see what happens. Well I got a little(?)crazy and upgraded some of the grab handles. Before..... And after...... Going to see if I can get the Hull together this afternoon. AAACW

Thanks, Mence. Getting into a bit of a rhythm with this. A slow rhythm but a rhythm none the less.

If you say so, Bub. Good bit of work yesterday and this Morning. Spent the morning correcting gaps and bad fit issues. You can see in the photos how bad some of them were. With everything either "welded", filled or glued and clamped, it was time to add some steel to the roadwheels and tracks. Let things set up, make some adjustments to the tracks, install the fenders and I'll be ready for some basecoat. AAACW.

Paul, yes I do and don't take this the wrong way but it feels good. K, so. Tracks sagged, fenders on, various bits and bobs attached, slap some wheel foil on Her and I'm ready for some basecoat. Never thought I'd get to this point with this. AAACW
