Just a minor update after what feels like major effort...

Most of the steering is done, however I lost some of the pics during the build stage. Instead of building and attaching everything as I went, I built all the parts and kept them separate for painting. It took a week or so of building and procrastinating to get all the parts together for everything up to about part number 19 of the steering. I was strengthening everything by soaking the parts with CA glue with the full intention of keeping the steering working, as it's designed to do. One simple error when putting it all together brought an end to the working steering but it wasn't a huge deal as I couldn't really see the point to all that extra effort for a working steering system in a model that is only going to sit on a shelf. Having made that decision, I doubt I will bother trying to build the working suspension either, I'm just going to focus on a good clean build, eliminating the working suspension should also save me a bit of time. I'll make sure it is positionable though, so I can set the ride height when I attach the wheels later.
