Happy Friday!
Well… the jigs and fixtures will speed things up as well as the power miniature cutoff saw which I purchased specifically with this project in mind. If I ever decide to build a timber trestle, I'll be all set. However, there is no place to put one.
Today, at the local hobby shop I bought the remaining strip stock to build the foundation. So I now have all the lumber in place to do the job.
I also picked up the Friulmodel die cast track link set for the M2A3 Bradley with the "big foot" tread style to replace the kit's tracks. Now all I need is the "Q" sprue that's still missing. The Chinese said they were putting it "in the post" on March 17. I have no idea how long it's going to take to get here. Was it on the Evergreen monster that got stuck in the Suez???
I picked up my next plastic kit that is in the queue to be started after the Rick House is complete. So I'm set for at least four more months of constructive activity.
Meanwhile, the first RH assembly jig is on the printer. It's done in 18 minutes at which time I will remove it and print another since they are identical matched sets.
Most of the staff at my LHS have been/or getting vaccinated. That's really good, since I like spending as much time as possible chatting with the gang when I'm getting stuff.
Have a nice weekend.
