Time to start a new scratch build model, this time from "The Tripods".

Basic skeletal balsa wood to start with after figuring the drawings out (I printed off loads of photos from the internet, and spent a couple of hours drawing out some plans).

This is going to be a very detailed and challenging model to construct so wish me luck!

Looking good so far
	When you're bored playing brass in band, put it up an octave! Yes, New Zealand's relationship with Britain is a bit like your relationship with your 21 year old son. You know, they move out of home, become independent...until they call you one day, asking for money.

Spot the structural use of an old bass 'E' string.

Excellent use of an 'E' string. ;D Found a site that may be of use to your construction. www.diedreibeinigenherrscher.de/archiv_151-160.htm Some good close-up pictures.
