It has been time to start detailing the front of the tenders. This has taken a fair bit longer than I expected but it's going well now.
One thing to do is to cut down the front tabs on the tender lockers as the front holes for those tabs gets covered over by the the locker doors detail.
These are the 4 tabs
And here I have put an tender front over them to trim them down
All nice and flush with the front
Here are 2 tender fronts with detailing all complete, can you spot the error ?
Don't forget the reverse
I found the best way to form the curve in the fall plate was to use some 16mm bar, holding the fall plate against it with a file and gently pressing it into the bar.
I'm back to work now so progress will slow down a bit.
