A bit broke off. The radio antenna base, I think. Still needs decals and weathering. Not too bad, I suppose. Considering my rank amateur status! 🙂

Oh, the 'rubber' road tires are pretty shaky. Struggled to stay within the lines, as it were.

Nice work Danny, although it will probably look better the right way up. 😉 If you go to 'Manage' and the 'Advanced options' you can change the orientation of your photos.
Magnification definitely helps with these small scale builds, I can barely do any modelling without it now.

Thanks Gorby. Yes I'm currently using a magnifying light but have to hold my breath because I'm right behind it, it fogs up the lens! Also the lens is warped so it's actually harder with it than not using anything at all! lol
I was trying to work out how to fix the orientation. Thank you.
The people in this group are very encouraging and not at all bitchy like some hobbies. I'm an obvious amateur but it's great to have so many knowledgable modellers to help. Met some really nice people already. Jakko Westerbeke and Scott Dutton among them. And now you 🙂

There are some bitchy modelling forums, fortunately Scalemates is one of the good ones. 🙂
