Why, as modellers do we do this? What's that Woody, you may ask, or maybe not! However, the answer is to put ourselves through all sorts of tiny manipulations involving magnification aids that then result in parts flying off over the floor requiring on the knee searching or failing to fit as planned as the glue melts the wrong part of the piece gluing it to your finger and all of this then adds significant quantities to the swear jar! The end result is this in the case of the MENG A39 Tortoise!
Great, Woody! What's so hard about that? Well maybe look at this...
Yes! This travel support for the gun barrel can be opened or closed and the locking bolt works!
It may have taken two hours to get this together and it will probably lie on the model unused until the landfill site takes delivery in years to come but I know it is constructed and works like the tool maker envisaged!
