Order is restored ;)

Though this build appears to be jinxed. I sent off for some DEF "weighted" resin wheels from Inside the Armour and of course heard nothing. It appears that they have had an IT failure and are effectively shut pro tem whilst they sort things out. I've emailed but heard nothing from Chris. DEF Model stuff is hard to come by :|

Rob,

I think Chris' email is still messed up, try contacting over Facebook.

Is that a resin barrel in the ET set?

Thanks Chris. ISA - chris Meddings dropped me the DEF wheels for the Dragon version which need minimal drilling to match the Trumpeter offering and are very splendid.

Yes it is a resin cannon - Want it? I dont need it. PM me with your address if needed

Minimal drilling but because of the flange around the axle hole - they sit too proud :|

Image

The flange needs removing with either a short 15 blade or a chisel :roll:

Image

So the lesson is - get the Trumpeter wheels for the Trumpeter kit ;)

I opted to pain the interior though as Chris says - none will be visible - it's practice :lol:

Progress, progress, progress. I wish I new how that felt. :oops:

My son starts school Tuesday. Its going to be really hard on me because I am going to miss all that time we had together, but maybe now I can start building again. ;)

Last year we had him in day care for a couple of months but pulled him out due to the cost. I actually got some stuff done then. :D
