alpinefocus Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Looking good, should a sight to see when finished. Ilike the linkage points, did they take long to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Cheers, the trick is to get as many photo's as you can and study them before you start the model..... Look at the pictures and identify the awkward parts and get an idea in your mind before you start how you will do them, that way you are less likely to have to make changes as you go along. The most time consuming part to a model like this is waiting for the plasweld to set on the smaller parts, especially when you need one in place so you can make the next. All told I would think about 4 hours have gone into that model so far in a 12 hour period, another two before its finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbrush Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 looking good f-p , as you say lots of photos of a machine certinly help to scratch build. hardest job is finding a real version of what you want to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
