Thanks zee Don, I will have a go taking some pictures on how I do the part rather than just the part, the thing is iam not a pro or a engineer so my way mite not be the best way to show.

Thanks Mal
Mal I don't think your going to find any of us judging your setups and looking at your parts your are a Pro as far as I am concern.

Another vote for showing some of the fabrication/machining. The results are certainly outstanding..the door, base and chimney look wonderful!

Hello all, having more shed time as of late  :cartwheel:  got some more done on the Minnie build, I'am trying to finish the front end before going onto another part of the build as I seem to be just picking a part to make out of the book randomly so I think I got a build plan finally.

Very nice work Mal!  That's a lot of riveting to do.  And it looks like bolts around the smokestack?  Why bolts and not rivets?
Thanks for the great pics,
Kim

Looking good Mal, the increased number of rivits in the perch bracket look a lot better than just doubling up the size of the 1" model and keeping the number the same

Thanks for the comments, Kim I used bolts around the chimney base just to brake up the look a bit not having every thing riveted.

Thanks Mal.
