Airfix Mineral 2

With the new non-door pieces fitted and polished it was on to welds.

There's at least one person I know who should close their eyes at this point. Welds are a problem; good welds are invisible, bad welds can be seen from 50' away. To make it work I needed the later, but this would be a 'bad weld'.  Lines were drawn, in pencil. A study of the excellent Peter Bartlett wagon site suggested that a common placement for the line was level with the door hinge, so that's where I aimed at. The thinnest strip I had in my pocket was 20 x10  so that would have to do. Lashings of solvent were used and hey presto! Bad welds.
