One side completed. 72 grooves per side. Only 504 more grooves to cut. I may want to finish one and cast it in resin.

Kit tire (tyre), template, rat-tail jeweler's file and the worked-on tire.

The tires look ok as supplied, but need the side grooves added. The instructions state, "For added detail, wheel may be notched at corners of tread as partially indicated on full scale drawing." They don't say how to do it. So I made this template and, using a spindle, set it over the tire (or tyre, for you folks across the pond) and mark loctions using a pencil lead. Ink shows up better, but the lead seams to file smoother.

A little tweaking yet. The tow bar should rest at the horizontal. Just some trimming of the wood.

The small box on the side of the frame is the electrical junction box. I added some paper and wood strips to make it look a bit more like the real thing. A simple fix, but seems effective.

Two down. The seat backs and braces are stiff paper. Attached with white glue and epoxy.

To avoid sharp cut edges, I carefully rolled over the edges upon themselves using the toothpick to define the shape. The other tool helped to roll over the aluminum lip.
