The finish of the Build

Well here we are

The last entry in the blog for this build

Securing the suspension

Fitting the wheels and putting the last bits of finish on

Touching up here and there

And there you go

Well there it is

It now resides in my Mother in Laws living room

I can't say it was an easy build

I had a lot of ups and downs, but I enjoyed it a great deal

I am now building a model of Captain Cooks Research vessel HMB Endeavour

I will not be doing a normal blog for that but will be doing a full build log at Model Ship World

Thank you all for watching and please feel free to follow the Endeavour

It doesn't look like a lot was done today, but there was a lot of waiting for stuff to dry
All I was trying to do was get the suspension in place and that I did

I need thew glue to be really solid so I am leaving that overnight
Tomorrow I will add the wheels and then all the little fancy bits and the doors and it will be about done

NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to let any watchers know I have been waiting for parts to finish this build
They arrived today and I will be back to finish the build tomorrow
I am looking forward to finishing this as the Mother in law has told me she would like it
See you tomorrow

Missing pieces found

I knew I wouldn't have thrown any pieces away

The wife found them on the floor where they must have fallen from the table or box

Anyway first job was assembling the lamps

Just a nice paint job on these now

Here is the front suspension with the missing pieces so that is now complete

And all painted up with the attachment that allows it to be secured to the carriage but allow steering

Here is the rear suspension ready to fix together with the laser parts fitted and showing the brass fitments

Here is the front fixed to the carriage

And finally today the lamps receive their paint
