Blauturm bogies...

How do eat an elephant?

Piece by piece...
And so the same with the Blauturm kit. With nothing but exploded views I've been apprehensive about starting but once you do it becomes even more apparent what a well designed and laid out kit this is! The styrene cuts, glues and cleans up well, Rene has grouped parts together, and the fit is perfect every time! I've spent a very pleasant half hour putting the first pair of bogies together, the only deviation from the kit, Rene suggests a paper clip wrapped in tape to represent the turn buckle, I ended up using 0.9mm brass rod and some Evergreen styrene tube I had in my bits box.

Looking good so far and now the seal is broken...
