Looking really good Paddy! What is it that you are using to hold it? Kind of looks like a movement holder for a watch.

Sometimes a sharpened tooth pick can make the tiny stuff easier.

Sorry to hear of the finger tip issues Paddy.
Thanks for the link. As it is a UK link I did a search on US Amazon and came up with something similar, but has other pluses so ordered it and a mini fractal vice. They should be here Wednesday. Am always needing stuff to hold things for machining and such.

I found a load more wood that needs painting so thats another week of drying so i am playing with the engine . The thing that draws me to cars and bikes now is the scale as its easier to detail things in 1/12 or larger
I am giving ago with some of the bis on this like the ignition wire tubes as if it doesnt work its out of sight but ts fun trying,

This is the kit, there are no plug wires

And this is the home made ignition tube and wires

the ignition tube looks bigger but its not, its 1mm..... it hasn't had a mat coat yet but the engine has so it will blend in better once thats done..
