Ok back at this. Haven't really concentrated on any of my builds lately & Im yet to bloody finish one. My compardr'e has been hard at it & has achieved great thing whilst mine still sat with wrapping on pieces 
Its time to try & make some headway before Im left for dust. Started working on getting the engine side panels on today. Have been cross referencing with Charle's, Richards revised & the Pappas photos which has been a headache. It all comes down to millimetres & what you can live with. Anyway has been a good come back with the trench wall piece getting lined up & secured.
Looks ok
Put the engine plate up to have a good check & seems to be pretty straight.
Start on the trench floor & ceiling
Using wood & clamps to brace after glueing. The Weldon works great.
Check alignment again with engine plate
Looks ok. Will come in line with side walls & slope attached
Start the outer walls
Looks ok & onto the slope...
Decided to bevel the edges & am going to use the Dremel with the blade sharpening attachment. It has the right angle so should do the job
Bottom slope with bevelled edges to help with a snug fit. Beware to wear eye protection & a shirt. I didn't have a shirt on & got sprayed with hot acrylic. Yep, learnt the hard way again
Lower slop attached to side wall
Looks okly dokly
Both slopes attached to outer side walls. Have left attaching the slopes to the engine box last so I can push them into place with some bracing & weight.
Both slope attached to engine box
Will let sit to make sure its all sealed & tight. Do't want it poppin on me.
Just got to thin the upper outer wall & lengthen the upper slope as its a bit long & short in the wrong spots. Big thanks to Wombat for his hard work & help in making this as easy as possible. Phil has put in plenty of time adjusting pieces to be more accurate & helping me with mine.
