Gav836 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks guys I'm hoping to be able to do something with all the traces on the new UH Grimme as soon as I get a couple here Dan, they will require a bit of modifying but sure it'll work. If not they I'll have to scratch build them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks guys, this should indeed be the casting master when it's finished Little update for you now, I've been working on the cleaning end of the machine fitting the stars and rollers into it, they are not securely fixed at the minute, just lodged in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Superb Gav, your really getting the detail into it. Are you keeping a tally of the hours just for your own interest? Be good to know what kind of time a model to this standard takes to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I was about to ask similar Tris...........Excellent work there Gav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks guys and yes I am, both of hours and cost involved. Time so far stands at about 25 hours and and costs at approx £30. I do intend on giving one of the models to Standen's when they are ready Marcus, after all without heir co-operation I wouldn't have been able to build it in this much detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Apart from using the same method for making the stars and tubular frame nothing else will be transferred between the two models, now that I have what to use for stars sorted out it will be much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
