Shall be starting my IP Engineering Lucy soon. Hopefully have it ready for the 20th April  

Shall be painted all over black except for the odd detail bits (front of radiator etc)

I have the extra detailing back, brass handrails and a 4WD kit to add to it aswell.

Been reading the instructions over and over and sliding it all together to get a feel for how it goes together.

Pictures on Monday hopefully.

A IP Punch is soon to be ordered for my birthday aswell

Steamyjim,

I have a question.  You were with Cheddar for awhile, right?

What's the ceramic in the burner made from.  Mine is rather soft - not what I would describe as "ceramic".  I think of "ceramic" as a hard material like glass.  

Just wondering.

BTW, your diesel kit looks good!  

BEst,

Will

I don't know what ceramic tile they used. John (Bogstandard) posted a link where you could get ceramic tile from though

Steamyjim,

That's fine.  I don't believe in age limits.  It's aquired knowledge and maturity that sets the standard.  

Sent an email to Polly Model Engineering.  Thanks for the help.

Best,

Will
