Kris, both wheels were painted yesterday morning. The first one seen earlier was chipped about 30mins after they were painted. Here is the second one that I just finished chipping 5 mins ago. I gave this second one a quick light brushing with clean water to re-soften the paint slightly prior to chipping.

I need a Corona.... Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6293 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 06/10/2012 :  3:18:20 PM         An hour in 'the shop' and a couple of Coronas later and she's firing on all four cylinders.... Almost time to put this baby together and then I can add the other details...

What did you use for the leads? Country: South Africa | Posts: 2831 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 06/11/2012 :  12:38:19 PM         Thanks Dallas and Wes, great to have you following along. quote: Originally posted by wesleybeks What did you use for the leads? The leads were individualy measured and pre-formed from black beading wire. I'll probably use some more of it in various thicknesses for further wiring and piping around the engine, also some control rods... maybe. Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6293 brownbr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/11/2012 :  2:39:04 PM     Nice progress. Glad to see you are back at this. I will be too soon. Country: USA | Posts: 1543 wesleybeks Fireman Posted - 06/11/2012 :  2:44:43 PM     Damn that thing is tiny. I'm getting a headache just looking at it on my screen. Country: South Africa | Posts: 2831 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 06/11/2012 :  3:54:44 PM         Thanks Brian and Wes, yep Wes an they were slippery little suckers too!! luckily I only lost one due to a "tweezer flick" Started making some of the extra details and also made a new blade for a broken fan I had from another kit. After that I started making and installing the wiring. Next will be gluing the two main assemblies together and then I can start adding the details I just made.
