Hi All,

Is it cheating to post here and on Brit Modelers?  If so, I'll shut up.  Otherwise here's some recent work.

I'm currently working on the side pods and wire harness.  By far the most complex build I've attempted.  Color coding copious notes, for my forgetful mind, are mandatory.

Time spent on the sidepods.  Mostly fiddling with wiring.  While I'm not thrilled with the work, I am mostly pleased.

More sidepod work...  Top Studio provides an adhesive backed mat finish sheet that you cut into strips the width of the strap.  They also provide PE clasps/eyelet for the end of the strap.  The PE base of the box includes hooks for the clasps. The trick is determining the length of the strap.  Thankfully TS provides a large sheet for 2nd and 3rd tries.

I'm not sure how TS expects the 2nd wire to be attached.  I took a bit of super fine wire and CA'd it to the side of the wire that will be next to the sidepod (out of sight).  A bit of glass black and it's ready.  It turned out and I'm please.

Is this also posted on YouTube? If so Ive been following that one.

I've not posted on YouTube.  The Tamiya MP4/6 and Top Studio is a popular build.

Indeed it is. I would have loved a 1/12 build, but the cost being what it is I settled on 1/20. It will still be epic I know that much.

Hey all, a few recent updates...  Both sidepods are on the tub.  These cables are fiddly.  Thankfully I'm please with the recent work.
