Bottlehead has a new YouTube channel. It is a repository for lots of tips and tricks to help you build your kit. We have just launched a new series by Doc B., The Doctor Is In, that shows some in depth tips and tricks for selected aspects of the build process. The first episode is about assembling the wood base that comes with your kit, and some simple ideas for finishing it. The second covers painting your chassis and the third has tips for mounting the various pieces of hardware to your chassis. FLASH – we now have the long awaited fourth video on soldering up on our channel!
