I've run out of things to do while the dinghy pieces are drying up so I decided to start another scale model build and I will work on it in between other projects that I have going on. Not much progress today because I had 2 other projects going in the shop but I will show the progress that I do have.

Your smallest of pieces are incredibly precise and uniform. What is you secret? Are you using some kind of miniature woodworking tool and have magnification?

There's not much to tell today. I managed to get the hood finished and got the fenders in place and also got the front grill finished. Started working on the cab and just ran out of time. Next week I might be able to get more done.

For that, I used the router table. I clamped a straight edge to the fence to prevent the smaller piece from slipping into the gap of the split fence and used a 1/16" straight bit. I then just moved the fence out by 1/8" for each pass until the grill was done. I've used this method before and it works like a charm. Sure beats gluing in individual uprights for the grill.
