Oh :) sorry i thought we were talking about glue . (note to self.....pay attention or keep quiet you idiot :) )

Yea but there are many different types and resin like i am using on the MHF kits is Acetone proof where as Acetone will melt kit plastic with just the fumes. i expect the glues will be the same , i use a slow set CA

ahh just found this thread....Horses, white metal, what could go wrong :-) Back in the day Mrs Paddy had a few horses, all ex race retired, terrible highly strung things that cost me a fortune :-) couldnt stand them myself.....I put the first one i a field and it ate the entire field, bunged...

Do you know what ? i already had that idea as a contingence plan :-) Sure it will be fine

rear suspension is on. I had to reduce the lengths of the drive shafts by about 5mm. Not sure why but i dont think it was anything i have done, i will find out i expect if the wheels dont fit in the arches later :-) it all looks a bit odd at the moment with things at funny angles but i hope...

The radiator pipes are white metal to give them shape but they supply a length of black heat shrink to cover them which works really well and gives a good realistic finish. A trick i can use on other builds :-)

Yea you are right, i just wanted to post some pictures as i thought it was a common interest , i have edited my other posts.

So this is the rebuilt frame with the old cross member to show the difference, its 10x stronger Below shows the joint with the added sleeve slid down and fixed, again 10x stronger and here it is with the radiators attached and well supported This time i have tapped the radiator holes...

Thanks Steve :) When i came to mount the engine in the frame at the back it was noticeably crooked. I tried to bias/bend the whole frame and it fell apart...lol The rear top section is so soft, the radiators mount on it but if you pick the assembly up by the cross bar it just bends into a...

T On the uniform thing Wiki says "Military musicians of the period wore the reverse colors of the regiments to which they were assigned" which would explain the Red.

I tried some heat on a sprue and it melted very quickly, i dont think its an option but i will look into ultra low heat solder. Semi gloss bl;ack And balanced with the chassis I am going to experiment with detailing the rear as its seen (unlike the front ) to see if it really adds...

The rear space frame, engine and suspension mounts is tricky. They cast in the location pins but not the corresponding holes. There are basically no right angles so all the holes have to be drilled at an angle which dictates the the shape of what you end up with :) Is this correct ? i guess we...
