Your modelling skills are really good you said this video was to long. I don’t think it was long enough .😀

Not sure what I'm more impressed by - your research into the prototype, or your bang-on modelling skills! BTW are your hands actually indestructible? (Dremmel cutter just mills away from you fingers and soldering iron even closer). LOVE IT!

I suffer from "modellers finger" according to the wife!!
Soldering Irons - Its that moment you hear something singeing, realise its for fingers! But are then are stuck with the dilemma, let go relieving the burning sensation and have to start again, or, watch your fingers smoke n melt but keep a hold until the solder has solidified!! 🤔🤔
👍👍😂😂😎😎

@@Wallsrail YES! I'm feeling it!

The design of some of those suspension units makes it almost look like they are upside down.

[@jkirk888]

I agree, the Bachmann version is poor, especially at the price they are asking

[@Wallsrail]

I'm betting (Hoping) that a new tooled model will be produced soon!!

[@brucewoods9377]

Pity you were so close up you kept going out of focus and out of camera shot. Not only that you flipped about so much it was hard to keep up with what you were doing

[@Wallsrail]

I'll bear that in mind, thanks.
