Rivet Counters Beware!!!!!!
Today I had a major victory and boy oh boy I am jumping for joy!!!!
I’m still occasionally searching for information / pictures to help with this project and came up with a couple of new (to me) photos that showed me where I’ve actually gone wrong in my guesstimate measurements.
So why am I happy? Well not long ago I would have agonised whether I should start again, put the whole shebang on hold, and ended up feeling down in the dumps, making the whole process worse because I knew I was procrastinating. :cry:
But no more, the photos still don’t show me clearly the actual purpose of some of the superstructure, so I am not going to sweat about that ¼” I should have narrowed the funnel supporting structures by, meaning that I should reposition the tracks by an 1/8”. I don’t care; I’m just pretty content with what I’ve achieved so far. That, however, is no excuse for not trying to continue to make an honest attempt though.
(If anyone should wish to build a more accurate model of the Windsor or Manitowoc I would be quite happy to share my observations.)
In light of the above I feel a bit of a fraud but thank you for your moral support, it is appreciated.
Cheers, the Bear.
