Thanks y'all. Should be finishing up the cab details over the weekend.

Fascinating Chris. I'll going to follow the build with interest. Thanks for sharing

ok Chris.
i think the gold leaf looks very very sharp!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant, Chris!

Thanks guys.

Hans- For the goldleafing I tried out one the few things I could come up with. I took the smallest strip styrene that my LHS carried and painted it with Tamiya gold leaf. I then took a pencil and a ruler and as best as I could made the marks where I wanted the lines at. Then just glued the strips onto the body. They are a bit raised , but it should work. I have found out since that there is smaller strip than I used which would have worked great. I think what I used was .010 and they have .005.

nice built indeed !
keep us updated.
BTW how did you put the gold leaf on? looks very good!

lizard: Nice Build!

Thanks. Hopefully will have a couple of guides up this weekend some time. Probally be foiling trim , salt weathering and useing wood for simulating wood.

What a brilliant site. The `build log` is facinating and I`m watching and waiting for the `how to` section to get up and running, because I can use all the help that`s going
