Cheers Mence!!! How do I start?  ?? I scratch built a M26 many years ago, inspired by Shep Paine's book and I remembered starting with the easy part; the cab. Then it gets tricky!!! There is lots of info for the Dragon Wagon but tyres are the hard part. I could have bought them 3d printed but that defeats the object: build all I can from scratch, it can't be a scratch build if the tyres/wheels are sourced elsewhere. I have the master made which is half a tyre, hopefully I can make a mould,cast 22 halves and end up with 11 tyres!!!!😬 |

I'm with you about 3D printing and scratchbuild. Looks good what you've done so far.

apologies; some of the pics have a touch of white-out.
