'..And he waved the fastest soldering iron in the west...'

Well, an afternoon off work, and a chance to relax and get some modeling in.

I set to and folded up the top of the Da, then discovered that the rear walkway I had added was 1/2 mm to narrow, so had to do a bit of work to get the cast lead ends in. Everything else went along OK (I'm starting to enjoy assembling these things. Bizarre for an etched kit I know). Only burnt myself once which is always good. and managed to fold up the rear end handrail freehand. The only serious casualty today was the DIGITRAX decoder that now refuses to work, since all the smoke has escaped. you would think they would have found something else by now that would work better.




The end result, a beautiful pair.
