Outstanding work so far.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Done a little more finally closed the boiler up and finshed the smoke box shell, After pressure testing the boiler I decided to paint both the boiler and the smokebox with cylinder head paint which i fired off in the kiln for an hour at 200c
