A few joints to tidy with Milliput, followed by a bit of smoothing the same joints and a couple of brass wire pipes to add and it'll be ready for priming. There's not much to it really.

I also have to decide whether to stick with z-gauge couplings or make something up, but they attach to the chassis and can be changed at a later date.

I decided that the joints would be good enough, so skipped any filling and just tidied up with a tiny bit of filing. Primed and painted, but there are a couple of bits on the smokebox and smokebox door - I should have taken my glasses into the shed with me. The lining is a little wonky, but it's the first time I've done any - I used a bow pen borrowed from my parents (my dad was a draughtsman and my mum a tracer in the early '60s). I need to fit the two missing pipes and add a monogram to each side. I'm happy with progress so far though.

Sweeeeeeet !

Nice job.
