"got enough guns"

Last Saturday morning on my way to a cold, windy round of golf, I stopped at a nearby convenience store for a cup of coffee. The very
LARGE woman working behind the counter was wearing a t-shirt with the quote
               "If you know how many guns you own, You don't have enough"

Hi Roger, your work looks good and you are coming right along. My only suggestion would be trying  (on your next build) smaller diameter pins for your RR pipes and barrel. I've learned from the ole saying....."Drill Small, Hole Small". It kind of makes for easier repairs when I screw up, and a 1\16 inch pin does the same job that a two penney nail does, and a common tooth pick will fill and repair the hole if need be.  I got one of those jap saws myself a few months back and haven't used it yet. How's it cutting for you? I think I paid around 8 bucks at one of those discount supply houses where they sell everything from Chinese lawn furniture to fresh produce.

Point well taken.  At the time as usual I couldn't locate thinner pins.  What I do when finishing is plug up those glaring pin holes with Paneling filler on a stick matching the colour close as I can then shine that area to blend.  Works for me.   The jap pull saw works fine; but if not carefull you can screw up as with anything else that removes wood or makes a cut.... ;D
