Thanks bush tucker.  Ive searched the net and there isnt much info on fitting.  I did find a comment of cutting out the patterns and then drawing round them rather than sticking them to the mdf.  What do you think to that?  How much time did you work on it during the 3 months?  Would you recommend making as much as possible myself or buying stuff.  I'm going in the direction of buying as at least it should fit and work if I do that.  One other thing how did you paint it and what sort of finish did you get.  Do you have any photos?

Believe it or not, it's still in the boxes at a friends house.

I keep meaning to go & get it & start it, it'll stop me sitting on the PC all night instead :lol:  :lol:

dirtyboy:
lol.  Well when your ready.  lol

Sounds a good idea drawing round the plans, but I'd then measure as well to make sure all true etc.
i got all the bits at the same as the plans - i don't have metal working facilities or a welder nor the time to source all the bits individually.

worked on it for about 2-3 hours a night, 3 days a week over the 3 month period.

i painted it by hand with coach paint, the finish is ok for what is at the end of day a kids toy which gets scuffed and bashed etc.

pictures attached:

Thanks Ibex man.  It looks great.  Good point about the finish.  doesnt sound to bad either 2-3 hours 3 times a week for 3 months.  In fact that sounds quicker than I thought.  I'm in no hurry as my daughters only just turned 2.   :-) I'm not sure what you mean about measuring up?  how do you know what the measurements should be?
