                                       albeit slowly.... very slowly.  hahaha .. ;-)

here is the plan... yep that's it.. haha  ..


 ok your eyes are not going.. it's a terrible picture.. it's actually upside down..
 this is both side pannels with the joint spars in place drying ... hopefully I can start filling in the floor and ends tomorrow..
just a quick one to show a little progress... I have also done the long chassis parts and the axles and wheel hubs.. ..

ok.. been a tad buisy tryout matchstick model kits.. I'm not impressed.. they supply a card former to build then you just stick matches on... cheap rubbish at big prices.. I did the 1900 era  fire engine with escape ladder on large cart type wheels..














Also a another kit.. just a bag of matches and a plan... this looks more like it..  an early 'V twin' cylinder engined chopper... as apposed to a low rider of today..this was far more satisfactory to build,.. just a plan of the parts for scale ..
