Thanks Stephan, good old paper clips. Used a lot of them in my time along with various thicknesses of wire and solder as solder is so easy to work worth but will remain quite firm once painted.

That's a brilliant paint job, but I think it needs a snazzier interior to set it off. How about crimson or maroon?

It causes the beige to crack.
In the stage the model is now I could paint the roof without this problem but I simply do not dare to do it bcause I don´t want to spoil the model again with beige paint where it should not be as I did two times before.

I've had the same nightmare -did a clean, then parts removed/covered, paint strip, clean, dry, repaint......hurrah! Then thought I'd protect it all with spray matt clear varnish and the paint all cracked. Back to stage one.

Comes across on my screen as another high quality finish Stephan, worthy of associating your name to it!
I am sure if you rented a table at a toy show or toy collectors fair your models would attract a lot of interest.
