@@MarkCroucherRC4fun I reckon I’d have put a brass tube in and then bent the undercarriage around it, then bound it to the former, your solution is probably lighter but I’d worry about having to replace the tie-wraps should they need to be changed, with them being so well built in.
Great progress Mark, two big pieces progressed, your last tip I agree with completely 👍🙂
Hi Mark, nice work. I'll also use these plastic stripes alot.🙂
Great video Mark, I thought you were going to make. A wooden engine 😊. Sounds good the fabricated exhaust. 👍🏻
😂 The wooden cowl almost happened. It really goes need an extension for the exhaust.
I always liberally pot any thread bindings with epoxy, no danger of them rotting out then!
True but I needed the undercarriage to be able to rotate in the bindings so the cable ties seemed the best move.

@@Pete-tq6in Good idea however the undercarriage was preformed so this was not an option.
Time will tell regarding the ties
