Hope this helps with the nut/bolt/rivet issue     -   My apologies for the colour forgot to change the white balance thingy !!

That is looking great Barney!

[Ray Dunakin]

Looks great, can't wait to see some paint on it!

[Gordon Ferguson]

Thanks Barney, much appreciated.

Impressed with both technique and the drawings ...... What programme are you using ?

Oh and one more question to glue the nuts in place with a solvent or super glue

[Barney]

Gordon - mainly super-glue when its just the head of the rivet or nut - only use MEK when using the sprue and hole method
What "Program" are you having me on ! old school here a pencil and a piece of paper  - photo into the Apple thing and type the words on the photo

Remember if you cut those little b******* in a clear plastic bag which your wife brought her dry cleaning home they won't become ballistic entities which vanish into the void.  Same trick for small springs. It works quite simply when you insert a medium sized cardboard box into the bag and drape the front down over your arms. For regular use, spray paint the interior white.

[Chuck Doan]

Good idea, Lawton!

A Bit more progress after a bit of a rest ! engine now completed and undercoat on - front and rear lamps and few other bits done last few nuts and bolts to go and in the paint shop this week !
