Yesterday was washing day for the Raumer. I’ve also prepped for the undercoat with 72 days of Blutack to put the pads on when I do the spraying.


This is my old display cabinet which will be replaced by 2 IKEA cabinets soon when I can do the assembly amidst the usual blue air.

I’m up to scratch building grab handles/steps and yes everything you see in the photo below is essential to the process including the syringe needles. Not shown is the blue air when I accidentally stab myself!

I’ve started on the cleanup process. As of tonight 20 down and 52 to go. Yes that it is 2 rows of 10 on the top. And yes very OCD of me!

More work today and so mainly the pads left to clean up.

The underside steering mechanism is finished.

Well the 4 day holiday part at least. Apart from a good long walk have spent a fair bit of time on the Raumer. After a bit of sanding and dry fitting I got the second box in and am now firmly in Stage 7. More parts cleanup to go but nearly up to the last page.
Mind you there are 72 pads with 3 attachment points each to clean up as the last bit before completion so I may need a nice long movie for that stage!
