New Front hatch hinges

Post by clive Lockwood »

Hi Guy,s I have been busy following the threads on the panzer 111 with great interest, and of coarse working on all the various mods on my own model,
I have machined a master of the front hinges from alloy as per photos and will be taking a mould from them, I intend to cast these in a strong resin only because i cant face making four pairs of them in alloy, so i thought if i have to cast four pairs i might as well offer them for sale as well, so in the pics is the master, the resin hinges will be identical but made of resin, i will fill the holes before casting just to leave an indent for drilling.
so what you would get is four pairs of hinges drilled and the pivot pin in place.
If your interested pm me, i will be casting in a couple of weeks from now and i could do with some indication of how much resin to order.
Thanks,

Might be making these in white metal yet, resin may not be up to the job, i just need to experiment first.
