I couldn't find the button you were talking about until I went into my profile and changed one of the settings. Now I see it. I will have to be particular on which threads I follow or else my emailbox will overflow  Big Smile

Thanks Bill!  Yes

Off to a great start Dave!

BeerKirk, you can become a "follower" by clicking on the Email Replies to Me button at the top of the thread. It will then add you to an auto-email distribution list anytime someone replies to the thread. HTH!

Man you started this one before the paint even dried on your last one!  Big Smile  I will be following along on this one for sure.

BTW, on top of the page it says '1 follower' - How do you get to be a follower? Is it something simple that I am not seeing?

Also, who sells the brass rivets? They look really nice. Thanks!

Ouuu, I will definately be following this build, hughes2682!Cool Been wanting to get this kit for awhile now, except I have yet to find it at a good price anywhere. Nevertheless this should be a good looking build, are you gonna make it as a straight-up Avre or do you plan to make it into one of the variants?

The bench had not even cooled off from the last build before this one hit it. 

There is a small amount of PE that came with it but, I opted to include Eduards PE kit, workable links, and turned brass rivets (It beats cleaning up the plastic ones)

At first the suspension looks a bit daunting.  Once you really look at it, it isn't that bad really.

The best part is that these babies articulate.  Hmmmm, now how uneven do I really want to make the base?

This shot shows how nice the turned brass rivet are.  They are worth the price of admission.

Cheers

Dave
