A nice video and appropriate timing as a tribute to the Late Queen Elizabeth 2nd. God Bless the Queen Long live the King.

Thanks Fred!

7:00 AM EDT. Can't sleep. Just what I needed to see. Watching our friend Gary perform his magic. Always entertaining and informative. Thanks, Gary, as always.

Hope it helped you get back to sleep!

New coffee/drinking game -- every time Gary hits the phone -camera arm.... Drink ☕ or 🥛👍🐢

[@garys_stuff]

How do you think I cope with it....?

[@dewiwilliams8220]

The bulk head issue is the least of your errors!!! Surly the third ‘peddle’ you put in was the accelerator with the 2 photo etched parts being the brake & the clutch ….😂!!! You’ll have to ‘back peddle’ on that too ….😳😂

[@garys_stuff]

Probably so Dewi - cheers!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

One thing is for sure, There's a lot of patience needed to perform such a detailed model indeed. But all told, it's looking fantastic. Great video Gary 👍🏼👍🏼

[@garys_stuff]

Thanks mate! Quite the kit, this one!

[@flitsertheo]

When I see this I think I am going to wait a while before building mine.

[@garys_stuff]

Just take deep breaths and don't rush any step and you'll be fine!

[@gregcooke3260]

Bonnet in Australia. Loving the build. Mine's on order - can't wait!

[@dogwalker666]

Bonnet in UK too.

[@iannicholls7476]

Getting there Gary. Well done!

[@garys_stuff]

Cheers Ian

[@michaeldilley4384]

Bloody hell Gary, fiddly or what. Looking good man. Worry not about missing out a part, I've had to dismantle half a kit before now to fit a part I missed. It's going to look great when you've finished. Cheers, Mike.

[@garys_stuff]

I always get that nagging doubt ewhren I've finished a kit and there are parts left on the sprue... is this for another version or have I missed something?

[@darrenhillman8396]

What a fiddly faff! But it’ll be worth it when its done. Nice job, Gary!

[@garys_stuff]

Got given a Tilly at the weekend - I'll slot the build in somewhere!

Your making a smashing job of this Gary well done marra . Regards Gav.

[@speedymg1962]

Hi Gary, Nice progress, you're building it a lot quicker than me, I'm still on the chassis and wheels, least I can see what I've got to look forward too 🤣

[@garys_stuff]

Take your time mate - it really needs it!

[@petermerz2704]

Looks great Gary. Lots of fidely parts and photo etch. Thanks for sharing! 😎🇨🇦

[@garys_stuff]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@greybeardmodels]

Great progress mate. It’s looking good. Cheers Bob 👍

[@garys_stuff]

Thanks 👍

[@kevinatkins9154]

I could hear the frustration in your voice Gary, PE isn’t my favourite thing either sometimes it seems unnecessary but looking at the water can crates along with handles on the cans worth it cos they are looking good ! 👍

[@garys_stuff]

Don't mind a bit of PE but this is crazy!

[@obnox1968]

Cracking job Gary. After watching you build this I'm not sure I'd have the patience for it. I think I would go for the airfix Katy. Fantastic vids mate. Well done.

[@garys_stuff]

I suspect a lot of people will be disillusioned after buying this, it is one for the expert builder to enjoy, not the likes of me!

[@randytaylor1258]

Lots of detail and fiddly bits. I have to admit thar the etched radiator shell looks fabulous. Still weighing in my mind all those little bits versus the simplicity of the Airfix version. Looks grand, Gary! Bodywork next -- can't wait!

[@garys_stuff]

Cheers Randy! Yes, some sort of Airfix (Academy) / Gecko cross would be perfect for most modellers I think...

[@wickwicker8575]

Looking good so far Gary. Going to stick with Airfix's version too much photo-etched parts for me.

[@garys_stuff]

There're some parts that are just so tiny you wouldn't believe. I'll try to point some out.

[@ltgray2780]

Don't apologise . We all err. Admitting is exemplary.

[@oricalco555co9]

Why Apologise - we’ve all made mistakes - it part of our hobby. Heh heh. - Really enjoying this build though. 👍

[@garys_stuff]

Got to 'fess up when I mess up!

[@huwtindall7096]

Man I hate PE. Looking forward to resin and 3D printed fiddly bits become more common in kits. RFM have started to do some great stuff in this area.

[@garys_stuff]

3D print is the way forward, I think - even though PUR can be pain in the whatsit from time to time it would be easier than photo etch and often a better part anyway. For example, the closing bar on the water carrier could have a nice little padlock on it and would look better. I don't think there is a sacrifice made on the thickness of the parts either, I've had some very, very thin bits of resin before! With 3D printing you could have the whole water carrier complete with cans as a single part, I think.

[@markbaigent8373]

We all make mistakes, nowt to be embarrassed about.

Older Aussies say bonnet. Young Aussies because they watch America content, they tend to say hood. Not always though.

[@dogwalker666]

It's a bonnet, Yank's have to change everything.

[@randytaylor1258]

​@@dogwalker666 Why bonnet?

[@garys_stuff]

Cos it covers the head?

[@randytaylor1258]

@@garys_stuff Oh, that's bad.

[@garys_stuff]

@@randytaylor1258 oh, come on, I thought it was clever. Covers the cylinder head? Bonnet? Not bad for early on a Sunday... 🙂
