Outstanding Phil. I’m always amazed how many forum members can take a photo and then recreate the detail in miniature. You make it look so easy. A nice touch to an already impressive build.
Keep it up
Kevin

Great job there Phil, you've done just enough to make it convincing but not wasted time on things which can't be seen.

Thanks guys, I think it needs the battery boxes down both sides, well half boxes anyway or I won't be able to slide the assembly in 8)

Don't want to make it too easy for you Phil :-)

With the end cup and webbing strap there was no easy way to make them unless I did them solid with the detail moulded in. Problem with that was the excellent artwork by Stephen would have had to be cut into bits and fitted round the clip etc.

Best regards

Dave

Fiddly? You had the easy bit. Look good though, Dave's done a great job on them. There are some good, innovative threads on here at the moment. Makes a change from the same old......
