many thanks Erik @Erik67 & Mike @Stryker45 … its time consuming but getting there…
Frank @frank … I keep thinking about it and I genuinely cant remember what we put there (or even if we bothered to use them) … We only had Mk11’s for a bout 3 or 4 months before we chinned them off and got Cr1. We had the new cam system then as well ,so I was thinking that the cam poles all went into a canvas bag that was kept in a long bin, and they may have relocated the cleaning rods to the outside to make space … cant be a 100% though

That’s some spectacular PE work there John. Keep on foldin’ an’ gluin’ teeny tiny parts! My grandson’s hamster needs a vasectomy and I’m sure you’re the man for the job.

They mentioned Trago Mills many moons ago on Mock The Week, said it was a really strange store and it sounded like a Bond villain!!

its certainly an oddity as stores go … I dont even know how to best describe it …
Theres 2 down here and one in Devon and then one near Merthyr in Wales for some odd reason … its the sort of place you wander in not knowing what to expect and looking for some dog food, then come out finding you have spent £150 on crap you didnt want or need …
Cheers Matt… the PE is making my eyes itch, but I think the majority of the small sfuff is done now thank the lord !!

Just spotted this build John, it’s panning out to be yet another superpersonal-superdetailed-superbuild, so really looking forward to following this one closely, 
.
Amusing to see Trago crop up, I’ve had the odd good book from them, but hadn’t noticed that they do some kits, will check it out next time I visit…which isn’t very often, 
.
In the 10yrs I’ve been down this neck of the woods I think Antics moved, I’m sure they were situated along the main drag when I first moved to Cornwall,

Cheers mate … glad you are tagging along … The kit section isnt very interesting, its only Revell for main models, and a limited supply of AFVs/ships/Cars and aircraft in various scales. They also have a selection of Bandai/Revell Star Wars kits as well. The model section is upstairs tucked away in a corner of the Toy area.

Any idea what will totally ruin your night … Oh, I know … realising that you have lost your Chieftain drivers hatch … its gone … no idea how or when …

Mate, shouldn’t be too difficult to make: laminate a couple of pieces of card, plastic rod for the pivot - job done-ish.
It’ll help if you’ve one from another kit perhaps to use as a template.

Think I may have one from a Takom, was given a vehicle with missing pieces, you would have to wait till next month, when I’m back home, to see if I have one.

Oh no! But that’s what happens when you have so many projects on the go at once - you wind up losing stuff. Maybe it’s stuck to your Sherman.

Yeah. I think the Sherman played a part in it… probably fell into the box or got caught up with old used tissue paper that was just in the painting process and chucked …
In fact, As I am WFH today, I am going to do a full workplace strip down and deep delve to check everywhere in the daylight …

I was worried what you were going to say you used tissue paper for John, 
.
It always surprises me as to how easy it is to lose kit parts/tools etc., I’m doing it all the time,

All is good…
Balance to the Force has been restored…
Thanks to my Sith tracking sense I found it !!!
God knows how, but it was behind a pot of paint on the 2nd level … Absolutely no clue how it got there… But I just don’t care… Everything is good
