Musing over: valve gear complete...

This evening marked the end of hot sweats, blue air and burnt fingers...

Yes the very fiddly but beautifully observed valve gear on the Neil Sayer 009 La Meuse is complete. After all the trials and tribulations of the first side I actually finished all the assembly this evening in one go with only one tricky moment when I soldered the reverse link solid!

And to prove you don't need any special tools my selection of snips, pliers, tweezers etc...

Proof! Both sides assembled...

And to show how tiny it all is, here's my thumb for scale...

So what next? I need to dig back into the comprehensive instructions and work it out!
