A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.

Tank fitting
Fitting the inner tank sides to the Barclay is easy - tabs and slots sort out the location, although there is a quite a lot of slop so you need to pick which side of the slot your tab should fit and then do the same on the other side.
Outer sides, well they seem a fraction large. I managed to persuade them to fit inside the inners as shown in the instructions but I really could have done to shave a fraction off the front and top edges. I'll check for flatness across the tank tops and might file a little meat out of the brass if they look like they need it. First impressions are that I'll get away with it but then I'm working by eye.
