Hey all.....................
Well, not exactly an Earth shattering update. Perhaps more of a "see, I was serious"? Mind you we'll see how long that lasts.
I've spent an inordinate amount of time fannying about with this little sideframe, although in mine own defence a lot of the time was collating enough info' to get started, and also trying to make sense of a build strategy ... what all the very strange little objects are - and how important they might be?
I get now how frustrating it was for guys to come onto a car forum and say "what's a carburettor"? ....... only to be shouted down and ridiculed [not that I'm guilty of that but I've seen it happen].
So, anyhoo .................... managed to make a start. I know I'm not going to make the mistake of trying to compete with you's guy's. But I am going to try and emulate what I see on these pages, eyes and hands are struggling to make the transition to a different [smaller] scale ................. but here we go.............
As mentioned nothing Earth shattering: but I discovered that the cockpit framing is actually made up of "lugged tubing" rather than wood'n'wire which I've been admiring everywhere.
So, been busy substituting the squary bits with roundy bits. The "lugging" is a bit coarse but this is a trial run right -"right"?
As mentioned also there's a lot of figuring out what the kit makers done - and what you might do different??? I'm sure it'll all become more familiar??
Hopefully something a bit more exciting next time - till then then!!.
Ps ................. Soz' about the pic' ... Camera's not finding the transition too easy either - obviously.
