Thanks guys, encouragement is much appreciated......
So Today I did work in the morning, same tomorrow.
I painted the green on the glass, what a struggle, eh Vic? I seem to remember you saying the same thing.
TIP....... I made a lens for the rear underside, red, used the clasp of a plastic pen my brother-in-law nicked from a hotel. It's a bit small and was having trouble holding on to the bl00dy thing. Then remembered Annie and I stopped and saw a gem cutter at work! Boing. Now why didn't i think of this sooner. Glued it to the end of a piece of sprue! Bob's your uncle. Works a treat!
So you can see the shimming I had to do for the canopy glass. Almost every surface, but it's as good as it gonna get. So it's ready to get attached.
I sailor on.....
