Parts 63 -72

First though: part 33, the middle boiler support caused the boiler to sit at an angle. I had to grind it down to get the boiler to sit level and properly at all supports and attachment points.

Part 63 were the boiler bands. These strips cleverly hide all the joints of the boiler sections.

Parts 64 through 67 are the boiler front parts. Tricky to line everything up right. A few positioning marks would have helped here.

Part 68 is another boiler support. No issues.

Part 69 is the stack. Quite complex. Lining parts up was a challenge. I ended up painting some of the placement markings on the main stack tube so I could orient it correctly in the boiler.

Part 70 is the sand dome. I really dislike petals. These did turn out good though.

Part 71 is the other dome (steam?). These petals sucked more than the sand dome ones. Just saying.
