WOW!!!! Are you sleeping next to this? The last time I looked at forum, you were just looking at sprues. That wood grain looks fantastic. Coming together quite nicely!

Was pretty much all I did all weekend. Only have a month or so left of my building season so have to get it in while I still can.

That does look great!! I’m glad they worked!I was mildly optimistic when I saw them on the paper and they looked fully intact, then totally pessimistic when I slid them off the backing paper and they shriveled up and shrank to about a third of their size, then moderately optimistic when they smoothed out and expanded with many many wipes of a tissue, then mildly optimistic when I got all the water out and they still kept sliding around and silvering, then overjoyed when they reacted to some Micro Sol, settled down, bonded with no silvering and had a beautiful gloss finish. ![](https://media1.tenor.com/m/U1bWDXnF1sYAAAAC/rollercoaster-up-and-down.gif)

I had a couple of good scans as backup in case they disintegrated and I had to print my own but they would not have looked as good as the real ones did. 🤣🤣🤣 that sounds like a fun trip. ![](https://y.yarn.co/1a2d735f-30a7-4c6d-b6b8-3e6fae9a88e6_text.gif)

Interior is very busy for so few parts. Did the best I could with my limited artistic abilities to make the mugs look at least remotely Bavarian. Should look fine when closed up. Since I did the dash in a woodgrain I made up a simple backplate for the gauge decals. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/QNb5WQWV/Int.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/4xKhMj2h/Int1.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/dtNy5J6Y/Int2.jpg) Down to final assembly!
