unkelfergus Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Fancied making something a bit different....... Sorry about the picture quality in a couple of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 looking good John. Do you have a real one of these to measure from? (as it looks spot on shape wise!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkelfergus Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have two Barry,....the old flimsy tined version,..(still going strong though),......and this newer beefed up version. Trickiest part is getting the right amount of ram travel so it opens up far enough,.......still got a bit of fine tuning to go with that......

Deere-est Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Nice work, John. Clean and tidy, it still amazes me those of you who do conversions who manage to work with white plastic of all things without getting muck and finger prints all over it! These look nice.

Barry Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm guessing Swarfega is the key to clean hands for John!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkelfergus Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 After a week off work I dont recognise my hands,.....they are the same colour as the plastic..... :of When you're working this small, the model has to be held with a pair of helping hands so theres no chance of making prints on it.I always mark out in a very fine pencil,..never ink,.....touch ink with the glue and hey presto...one sickly black joint.... Not looking forward to the pipework and painting though,.....it could all go **** up yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkelfergus Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 One or two pictures of what it will eventually look like,..... I must say that it has been a challenge,...(to say the least),...to get the opening measurement correct. I have been about three hours solid trying to get it spot on but am still about 3mm short. One of the others that I had made has been cut and altered about a dozen times trying to do it.... > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
