A little bit of this...

My time in the Design & Maintenance Workshop has been spent finishing the halfmoons for the main feet and getting them flat. This meant that they could be glued on and what a difference they made to the foot. It's all slowly coming together now.

The weathered look?

Today, I managed to deaden the nerves in my index finger, by using a scalpel (with a new blade just in case I decided to cut myself again) and cutting the detail pieces for the main feet. The styrene is only 1mm but in order to cut the slots out it meant going over the lines getting deeper and deeper each time. All together there was/were 40 slots to cut out measuring about 25mm x 5mm. How sad is that knowing the size!!!!

Finish the slots before tea - I hope!

It didn't take too long to cut either, once I'd got in the rythym. I even had a little set-up seeing the angle they go to etc, etc..

After this it was a quick mix of the good ol' car filler P38. to smooth over some of the ridges in the battery boxes . The smell bought back some memories of my younger years, but I had obviously forgotten the ratio as I had just managed to smear it over the boxes when it went hard. Thankfully I had mixed the right amount just too much hardener - a mental note for next time.
I'll leave them to completely set while I'm back at work then have a go at sanding/filing them smooth. 

Good, the photos don't show the lumps.

Everything is slowly starting to come together, but still a lot to do. Hey!Ho! good job no deadline.
