Hi All,


Progress has slowed due to other commitments but I did get some shop time this weekend.  Here's an update-


I needed to thread the shin pin #2-56 so I could attach it to the leg rail.  This little threading operation took me 5 tries before I got this result:

This weekend's main goal was to get the leg rail bearings inserted.  My smallest boring tool barely fit in the 3/8" hole for the bearings!

After a little more work today, I finished the assembly:

The leg rails were quite tedious (a massive understatement).  I've built lots of models over the years, but nothing like this.  Cutting these rails were the most nerve-racking build process I've ever undertaken.  Overall, though, I'm pleased with the results.


Sorry for the limited posts.  Hopefully I can pick up some speed as I move onto some less complicated pieces. 


Thanks for following along!
