Just a quickie update. I have all the rivets on the center of the carriage done. Still have a couple of pneumatic couplers I have to make (didn't make enough the first time). Then there is the hand brake lever assembly and mounting that has been giving me fits. Turns out Trumpeter had the...

That's why it can be really helpful to share builds. I am learning all the time from everyone's builds. Learned a neat trick to make headlight lenses yesterday from a Farcebook post.

Looking good!

Sounds like there is a swing starting to come back to hobbies that are tangible. The "I built this!" with something solid to show give more impact than the "I beat level 499 of the stupid game that I wasted all that time on". All the stupid short videos are just as worthless, even though I do...
