Little bit further along. I know I'm not the fastest Builder but working with these tiny pieces is painstakingly tiresome but very rewarding once everything Clicks in. Like trying to get the driver's controls for the tank installed today. Wow what a chore. You'll notice you can't use any glue and trying to get that to stay together just wasn't working. So I took part 14 and glued it down. Then I used some bow and arrow string lubricant which is like beeswax kind of and use that to have everything stick together while I glue on part 15. That didn't work. Frustrating working with the small pieces but you just say break time and come back with a better idea. Which was to glue part 15 in and let it halfway set up so that you can kind of bend it out but it's still sticking in the slot. That way you can hold the two parts together and slide them in and a tweezer pushes part 15 over and locks everything in. Phew. Break time

[QUOTE="Rob, post: 256098, member: 21827"] Little bit further along. I know I'm not the fastest Builder but working with these tiny pieces is painstakingly tiresome but very rewarding once everything Clicks in.
