Finally got a Shuttle
on: February 15, 2009, 11:17:52 PM
Posted this pic in the one the way thread a bit back...



It arrived the other day.  The seller certainly made use of artistic license in the description but its coming along quite nicely.  I haven't sorted the tools out yet but I have succeeded in removing the nasty gunk from the scales.

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

That's scrubbed up nice mate.

What are the tools like?
I used to come here a lot.

The tools are well used but not abused. The blades have been sharpened a few times, unfortunately not nicely, so there's a bit of work to do there.  Nothing broken though, all very doable :)

Just for info (and to point out just how much of a nutter you really are  :P :D ) how long did it take to get the scales looking like that?

Didn't time it and they're not finished yet anyway.  This is just a teaser shot.

I'll happily agree with you that I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders though :D
