I've done a bit of work to the winch's. I couldn't replicate the bolted seam around the top of the winch without removing some material which would require a milling machine and I haven't got one any more, or the room to put one.
Paul, this is a great build and at the same level of excellence as the last 2 fantastic builds that were posted. these 3 have been at a far higher level than any others I have seen.
i am watching but running out of original ways to praise these builds, the 88 section is getting to good, attention to detail is top notch, regards simon manning.
Thanks for the very kind comments guys To be compared in the same sentence to the other 88 builds has left me lost for words. Their work is perfection in 6th scale and mine is a mere representation.
I wonder what you could create with just a small workshop, a lathe and a mill
I'm pretty sure one would fall of the chair, seeing your great stuff
So for October I'm free and we booked the Weymouth Seafront Hotel, and for some flexiblility I'll have a camper with me. Lots of room for models and BEER
I'll drop you a mail the next days for some details
cheers my friend,
Uwe

I really love the way you put the photos of your build against the real thing, it brings it all to life and is an education for me. Thanks for taking the trouble, as has been said, the 88 section is a treasure trove of high quality craftsmanship. Great to read.
Looking forward to seeing some quality 88s in October.
