I said it already at FB, this is great stuff Luigi. Did you solder the wires together?
Cheers

Nice to see you here, Russ Pete, defo it's a nice variation. Unfortunately I did only one sprue of tracks, I still have 6 to go. Not to mention the second cleaning they will need... I'm going to bring the sprues in front of the TV tonight, so I'll clean and watch something interesting.

Neems, I'm just trying to follow the path you're tracing. I will definitely use more and more metal and white stuff in the future. I'm really glad you liked that little part, it's been fun to assemble it Carl, I think you know it perfectly, given all the microscopic parts you assemble in every single build you do. Yet it's a real pleasure to see you liked my small effort

I am calling the light guard done. I think it's an improvement on the kit's part. What do you think?

Do you use a jig to align the parts or all by hand?

Post by bullardino on Nov 19, 2013 7:19:49 GMT -5
I did it all by hand. I sketched the shape on paper, then bent the wire with nose pliers trying to follow the shape as closely as I could. I started from the right half, the one with two rods on the ceiling as it had identical sides.
The initial result had the wrong stance, so I corrected it bending the back legs and cutting them at the correct length. Then I shaped the smaller left side and glued it to the right one.

Bill, thanks a lot It was a way to relax during the track cleaning sessions Iking, nice to see you commenting, comrade Paul, after seeing what an italian friend is doing with his Mod. 1972 I couldn't stay with the kit's ones. I had to copy his
