Hahaha! Thanks for the good words TRM. Welcome aboard, the fun is just begining They acually put the empty, all butchered up box in a bag (not to loose pieces!) and they drop the little pickup ticket in my mail box. So I had to go fetch my empty package....And they did not tell me what happened there Hooo nooo, they just told me it was damaged. Got home with a fregin empty box Meehhhh, life a bitch sometimes, at least it was not a spruebrothers sale order!!! That would have hurt. Phil.

Thanks Bill! So... that would make me Dr. Phil? Nehhhh I still got too much hair and not enough belly I`ve got some miliput on the zones of interest...Got to let it cure. putty01 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr So while it does: Lets fruilify! I use a small jig to cut the pins to lenght. Some people drill each link prior to installation ...Never found the use for that. I just gently force the pin in with long nose pliers. Easy-breezy. fruils01 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr I found myself working like a bumble bee around this build: little of this, little of that...Pretty enjoyable I must say. More soon People of MSC!

Haha Carl! That is some serious pushing. Hope you didn`t hurt yourself Luigi, Here you go mate: I use apretty simple jig made of styrene. Since my pliers are not flush cutting, I got the jig shoter by 2.5 mil. fruils01 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Then I hold the next link aligned with the other fruils02 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Get a pin in the hole like so: fruils03 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Make sure not to push youre pin with the plier to far from the link, the wire may bend as you push. 5 mil at the time, fruils04 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Annnnnd a drop of glue! I know there is a crooked one...just saw that in the pic, I will assess this situation rrrrrrrright away! fruils05 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Now back to Ze linkage! Phil.
