The scratchbuilt details thus far consist of 353 pieces of Evergreen Styrene, wire, pewter foil and brass tubing. Tonight I put some of the parts together to see what she will look like. Looking at all the individual parts together I must say it has been worth all the effort.

Morne, the detail is incredible! You are going to have to mount the machine on a mirror when you are finished as the undercarriage detail needs also needs to be seen! Awesome work!

What a transformation @mornem! Very nice.

Man-o-man, that sure is purty! You've done some marvelous detail work - and FAST! Not that I want to rush life along, but as soon as these last 2 teenagers leave the house... 🙂

That's a great looking interior, Morne.
The exhaust is for sure an improvement.

Fitting and fiddling will take place. . . .

As always, a real pleasure to see this unfold Morne!

Morne, your scratch building is really outstanding and the paint stage is eagerly awaited!

Thanks Greg, Adrian and Spiros your comments are greatly appreciated. This build is already more than a month old and looking back at the progress I must say that I surprised myself. Having scratchbuilt lots of minute parts and even doing the engine, which I had great doubts about, has inspired me to go the extra mile, Without lots of motivation from my friends at Imodeler none of this would have been possible. Thanks guys!
