I spent the best part of two hours this morning fettling the reporting numbers for No1 end
only to notice now that I have nicked the 3 at the bottom. Fortunately, John Peck (Precision Decals) supplies spares with every sheet that he produces and it will be another happy hour producing a replacement. At present they are only resting in the apertures as I have some trimming back of the back pieces to allow more light in.
I had originally intended to put the waterslide transfers between two layers o f 5 thou plasticard but even that had the front face just slightly proud of the box rim. However, I had also ordered a backlit set of transfers and these are directly printed onto plastic so I have an automatic 'glass face' and only using the one layer means that it can sit back into the opening as per the prototype.
I am out this afternoon so uncertain if I will get back to the bench today, tomorrow should see me finish both ends properly and turn to the lights, which will hopefully include the replacement red light that I ordered on Wednesday.
Sunday is Open Day at the Club so no more build progress until Monday.
regards
Mike
