Hi all here is the next update. They supply laser cut wood bits for the bow or steel for as they call it expert builders. I've tack glued one of the laser cut bits to the steel as a template for cutting. Here is where I need help the supplied metal is so hard a file won't even scratch it, what I have so far was done with a sanding belt. What would you suggest I drill the holes with I have high speed drill bits but I'm not sure they would drill through this stuff.

Thanks mate. I like variety the most I've had on the go at once is 9. We all build differently I know some who couldn't imagine building more than one at a time, personally I couldnt imagine that, just one kit on the go absurd, absolutely absurd.

That looks really cool. Does it come with a 1/17 Bron, facing off against Drogon?

9 kits? That’s madness Sir, madness I tell you! If I had 9 on the go I could guarantee parts from 1 kit would end up on another! :crazy:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Just comes with some arrows and a cannon ball I really enjoy this build and my hlf20 and the Ducati and the graffspreeish that's all I've got on the go at the moment I think as I say 9 is the most I've had on the go at once I just couldn't stick to only 1 I would get bored.

Oh I so agree with that. I got 3 on the go now and even looking to add in another one. I ts slow, but it keeps the evil mojo creature away! :eeek:

BTW: That kit is coming out nice! :thumb2:
