I am simpliy awestruck by your work on this. I think this harkens back to the old days of model building. It is really fun to watch and learn.

Kent I may be too late to the construction party but as an alternate idea why not drill out the external diameter and drill sections of styrene sheet in a smaller diameter opening....Is that what the marked off section on the yellow tape is? Apologies I’m not entirely read up here. Forgive me.

This is quite the undertaking even for an OOB kit. The modifications that you are making will make this an absolute stunner.

Hi Bruce,

Food for thought, thanks. Kitchen renovation has caused a halt but I will get back to this shortly. As an aside, I am working on the interview questions but you have some interesting ones in the bag already!

Regards,

Thanks John,

If I had thought it through properly, I would have thinned first then just drilled the newly thinned material. Always learning!
