All flued up and then it's khador time

Well spend a few days in bed with the flu and not much gets done. However wake up late one night feeling well again and keen to do something. The VC black coach was on the table but to pin that properly would require some sort of thought process so got out the khador jacks i had sitting aside. A dream to put together. Then it's i'm motivated time and pull all the khador blisters and boxes off the shelf and i'm up and running. To many late nights later and i have 2 casters and going on 60pts of stuff undercoated. Some of those khador heavies have a lot of parts.

Note to self. Look at the angle of arm's more closely on heavy jacks before drilling and pinning and again before gluing. Some of them are a bit off on a weird angle. Tried to correct and managed to snap one arm off. Drilled and pinned the break and all is good. I know it's good for sure as i managed to drop both heavy jacks from head height onto a tiled concrete floor and they hung together just as i finished undercoating them. I was so careful with them up until i finished and for some reason i just twisted the stick they were stuck to the wrong way as i was putting them down and then they bounced.
