Unless you look at it from below you can't really tell that the cover isn't in the right place anyway so I'm happy with the plastic bit.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-31696868198809553332014-04-13T22:06:18.873+01:002014-04-13T22:06:18.873+01:00I wasn't happy with the way the cylinder wrapp...I wasn't happy with the way the cylinder wrapper continues through the footplate either, and shall also be using a piece of plastic glued into the cut-out. I can understand why Brian designed it that way, but to my mind its more faff than its worth, being rather difficult to line up and sit convincingly.Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05278773151546187084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-52846713135844995612014-04-13T16:44:47.639+01:002014-04-13T16:44:47.639+01:00The problem with brass is rolling it.

Having had fun with the cab roof this morning (see next post) I definitely need to buy something to make the task easier.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-29247813457829845312014-04-13T12:33:12.919+01:002014-04-13T12:33:12.919+01:00It's looking good.
