OK, the work starts ....

Cab now nicely sanded and edges done prior to decals. I like to colour code some of the edges rather than have the normal black showing, inc the start button recess.

Going to leave it for a weak or so now to let the paint harden.....
I will pop it all together in a couple of weeks and post the pictures.

I am adding the invisible leg protectors that I always fit on on refurbs. I debur the edges and add more countersunk screw positions.

Thanks Kev,
What's your next project? I'm quiet at the moment just tinkering with my STTNG which is a very nice original. It came with the dome type cannons and lasers which had not been fitted so will incorporate them in the cannons.

Great, I look forward to the log...
what's the red stuff filler you used on the edge of the head ?
Cheers Kev
Wow great job. I hardly recognise this one that used to be mine and lived in the Pipeline for a year or so it looks good enough to eat your dinner off. You gonna do the playfield next?
I did that ropey sticker over the Drac track btw

The PF is just too good to swap out and I currently have a spare New Diamond Coated PF but to be honest I want to stay original. How bad was the damage under the sticker? the drac track looks fine as does the creature hole? I will send either this PF or an original from another MB resto I have lying around to Henrik I think....

Its 2 part Everbuild Wood Filler.
I tend to use hard wearing filler on anything that can take a knock. On the cab its generally fibre reinforced 2 part filler. Longer to sand but much tougher.
