Paul,

your detailing is to such high standards that mere mortals like me can only aspire to! Keep it up.....!

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply and your kind words. The original photos are invaluable when you are trying to recreate something in miniature, I hope others find them as useful as I have.

I hope to have the 88 finished so I can bring it down in October.

Regards, Paul.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the comments. Don't be put off by what you see on here I have no machinery to work with, apart from a pillar drill and that's why you will see a lot of plastic in my parts, because its easier to work with. You can do it, but sometimes it takes a rethink.

A few years ago I wanted a 1/6th engineers ball hammer and couldn't find one anywhere, so I decided to make one myself. All I had was some bits and bats in a box from plastic casings.

for some reason, don't ask me why! I arranged them like this

then I thought, hmmm, add some milliput

A bit of wooden dowel, then paint and Ended up with this!

Paul.

A master class in the 'simple', lateral thinking at its best.

Thanks for showing us all the 'how' and explaining the why.

Hello,

I couldn't add the photo in the PM so to answer the question on the chain, huck and hose connectors, here are some photos.

The hose connectors, I am not sure which ones you mean. if its the ones in the photos below, I used computer motherboard pegs/spacers. Most computer outlets will have some, they come in brass or metal.

Drill it out to the size you want, then spin it in a drill/dremel and use a file or hacksaw blade to cut a groove to make it look like two nuts together.

if its these connectors,



You will need to speak to Rolf Mönke and see his post here http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... 3&start=30


hope that helps.

Paul.
