Introducing The PistonBroke Line
Have been tied up lately with trying to set up our new computer, and seeing as I am a nearly 'puter illiterate, and the new baby is an apple, of which I have an even less idea about... you can imagine this household lately, Curse
But I digress,
Charlie B Wrote:Jack, after fumbling around with oversize fingers, then with flying parts from tweezers, I have filed the outside of one side of a pair of needle nose pliers and that is what I use to assemble anything. I filed the one side so they would fit between the top lip of gondolas so I could get the top grabs in place.

Thanks for the tip Charlie, ...grinding is underway. Its amazing how far tweezers can send a little part, ( maybe a new Olympic event Huh?) and the time spent on hands and knees finding it is inversely proportional to the speed at which it disappeared. Misngth

Thanks for stopping by and and taking time to post Matt, this was my second kit, and with each you learn a bit more I guess,..here are a few more pics for what they are worth..

And Drew, thanks for the comments man. I am a great admirer of your work, 'specially the latest with your grandson, it looks really cool, and it seemed to have happened so fast too. Cheers

Ahhh memories.... what were we discussing Gus?

Ok back to Kellys,
So after much gnashing of teeth we produced...

...Some stairs of sorts

Stained them, then fixed one set to the balcony, which had also been stained and fixed to the front of the boarding house.

The back stairs have a ballustrade now, and the formwork for the rubbish/trash area has been built

Oh man, the camera is a savage critic on the close ups... :oops: Wallbang ... better tell the news hounds to back off a bit and just take the big picture..... :mrgreen: But I guess the anklebiters won't notice or worry too much about the quality of the workmanship, we can only hope to get better with practice, or take long shot photos.

So here's one to go home with . Misngth see the roof is on the trash area

Hope all the pics have'nt glued your computers to a standstill, and if not ....will put a few more up as we muddle along a bit more.

Finished article coming as soon as I get the hang of this new computer, and the time consuming task of transferring all the rubbish from the old one is complete.
