Is the chassis built like a ladder ?
Back in pre 70's days kids progressed from making plastic kits on to balsa kits or plywood models depending if they flew or floated. Some more experienced kids might then progress on to buying plans and building up a model from those .
Seeing just a set of plans at first was very daunting but would soon take shape .
A lot of the model would be made in sections directly over the plan using pins to hold the pieces which were placed on a flat board with either wax or plastic film to prevent the parts from sticking to the plans .

I recall making a floating balsa model, at least it was supposed to float. The park was too far away to go there often. It may have been the 50s tho.
 
Went to the shops, first time since being on the might have corona naughty step for 2 weeks. Saw a bloke wearing 18 hole Docs, a rare sight indeed hereabouts. Went to the Ironmongers, "Hertig's", if they don't have it it is not made but my oh my you will be stung for it.
M5 Nylon washers (inside of carrier fixing points to protect stove enamel on frame) and 4x M5 Button head hex socket for my water bottle cages. €2.70 please sir. :eek: I bought 10 of the washers, maybe that was what bumped the price up.

Inspired and intrigued by @Reynard 's tartiflette, we found a recipe (Hairy Bikers in this case) and made our own tartiflette for dinner tonight. And it was wonderful. The only potential stumbling block would be if the kids didn't like it - very, very highly likely with my son who would live on chips and chicken nuggets if we let him, but my daughter will try anything. BOTH KIDS LIKED IT! In fact, my daughter loved it and made us swear to make it again! :wahhey::wahhey::wahhey:
