Great work Tim, they are really starting to come alive now , all the little details add to the overall look, I have added a couple of pics of the metal suspension arm's I used, i made some nylon wheel shafts and I found some items on the internet called blind rivit nuts which are threaded inside and are perfect to use as the spindle shafts for the arm's. I've included a couple of pics to show where I'm at with my build at the moment too,

Cheers, Lee.

That's a great looking model mate
I hope you don't mind me being a rivet counter but it would look even better if you were to make the ring around the bsa more round.
Sorry but I installed the real thing in a comet.
Ill put the stl file up by the downloads.

Everyone many thanks for all of the compliments. I try to Keep improving the look and realism of my models.

Greetings Tim

Thank you for your info and advice Tim, we are all here to learn bud I've still got a lot to do on it yet and I'll get the roundness sorted

Cheers, Lee.

Thanks mate.
I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist on those details.
I even had them move the searchlight mounting bracket on the real comet.
Because it was in the post war place(they had moved it up to make space fore the smoke pods)
The thing was welded all the way around and they had to juice the plasma cutter to get it off and after they placed it to the right position I redid the welds with the tig welder to make the weld look more authentic.
Even the comets at bovington have it in the post war spot

Good evening Tim, I had a go at rounding the mg surround today, I'm pleased with how it turned out and think it looks a lot better now

Cheers, Lee.
