Thanks Guys.
Rick - Last to be added rather than last one, I'm afraid.
There's still quite a few to build. Undoubtedly they'll see me out rather than me seeing them out!

Hello Taurusmodels,

   Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much for your generous comments, Dutch and Nigel, I really appreciate them!

I painted the barrels using Agama polishable metal pastes and added rust. I decided to experiment on the rust with a mixture of burnt and natural sienna. When the paint was just next to cured, I used a small stiff brush to stipple brick orange pigment into it. The result looks acceptable to me.









The bad news is I ran out of excuses for putting off the work on the vignette.



Thanks to the advice from fellow modellers I think I have finally figured out how Hyacinth got into this position, now I just have to keep studying tutorials to do this unique photo justice.

Cheers

That is excellent work ! I thought I was good for having done that seat back/bulkhead in 1/32nd scale. Thanks for the reality check  Your 1/72nd version is awesome!

Every so often I come across a post here on the forum that has a higher "Wow!" factor than average... and this is definitely one of them. Amazing work, Ian, I'm really looking forward to seeing this project standing on all four rims!

Thanks for the comments Dutch and Rick, much appreciated!

Hi all!

I may have been quiet, but the printer has been working overtime as I tried to find the right settings.

Here are the brake drums..







There was a little bit of distortion to the roundness where the supports were, but I think it's acceptable after a bit of sanding down.

Rims look good, but I foresee a lot of drilling....60 spokes on each of the 5 wheels!



I have also completed the jig, adding a support to keep the hub at the right height, and guide markings around the edge which match every 4th spoke to help get the threading right without constant recounting.



The other task now completed, which took a while but has no visible outcome as yet, was to work out the spoke numbering so I can thread them correctly. Only final threading will show whether I have got that correct or not!

That's it for now,
Thanks for looking in!



Ian
