MJB1 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 fantastic job matty , you must be well chuffed mate , will look outstanding when they're painted up mate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty a Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 you can probably see the little locking system i made to stop them from articulating when in transport position in pic 2 its just 2 bits of wire made into a little hook and eye system because the system they use on the real thing would have been so small i wouldnt have been able to make it lock into position but im very pleased with how it turned out and the only bit that was actualy hard to make was the frame for the hydrolic rams that lift the side rolls up because they have to be in the exact right position or they wont fully fold or unfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
