    Looks like you have it sussed. How deep is your cork sheeting? Could be a bit shallow to take the rodding.

    No. A bit of a late start due to the weather. I didn't think I was going to get anything done but the weather started to break a bit and I made a run for it. :avatar:
    I have some Dapol figures as well. they ain't bad. You've done a good job on them Sir. :thumbs:
    keep up the good work.
    cheers

    Those images remind me of that old Devo song...

    "Well I been working in a coal mine, going down, down, Working in a coal mine, whew, about to slip down..."

    Great set of pics Ian and great modelling too. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.
