Working on the ... pilot? Driver? Uhm... Piver?

His other arm will be attached in place at a later date, when I figure out what he's actually doing with that one. I'll come up with something.

Inserting a cassette in the 8-Track player perhaps?

I've just shown this device to a couple of military chaps who work down the road from me (at Stirling Lines,  Hereford).  Their two comments were:-

Hahaha! That's brilliant, thanks for that! 

You can tell them they need not worry, I'm working on it:

Scratchbuilding the kettle as I write this.

His other arm is in place, too. He's got it on top of one of the myriad of levers that seem to live there:


Still need to finish painting the

Drilot!

and meanwhile i'm scavenging for bits and bobs to fill the Landie with.

Thanks again for taking a look!
