Getting it straight!

Time to start the chassis on the Italeri DAF 95 Canvas Truck. This is probably the most important part of any truck kit build. Get it anything other then straight and the consequences on the rest of the build are enormous. Everything either fastens to or sits on the chassis and the whole truck will at best look twisted and at worse never go together as a kit. How do I know? Lets just say I have been there and learnt the lesson! 

Chassis sides and cross members glued and taped together.

And now with added weight! That should make sure it gets straight!

You may think all that weight is a little over the top but better safe than sorry. Talking of being over the top I had to look twice on a drive out with Mrs. Woody today when we came across this house with an obvious roof issue but with scaffold that might look more at home on a factory.

That is going to be a big bill for the home owner!
