Quick Update: The benefits of having a member in our club also be an employee at our LHS has allowed me to score some #78 bits. He was gracious enough to bring a couple packs to me last night. Otherwise I'd have to wait until the weekend to get some. I've since drilled the grab holes for two more cars and have finished the under body detail on one. Hopefully tonight I'll have the roof, "B" end details finished on that one tonight. When I get the whole lot of them to that stage I'll go on a painting spree and do them all at once.
Thanks for the encouragement to get those bits Nacho. It really does make a difference when you use the right tool for the right job. The drilled holes look a lot cleaner looking.
I'll get some pictures up on my progress when I do some more work on the cars.
P.S. Having never assembled one of these kits before I'm taking this all in as a learning experience. I personally think the first car will turn out looking a little on the rough side. But you gotta start learning these things sooner or later, right?
