Slight problem with the plan for the tow hook/bar. i'll have to have a re think!!

Coments always welcome, if you don't tell me i won't learn nuffin.

Hi jackwagon, I wanted to do a kind of upside down L shape type thing ofa the back just proud of the roof, but the doors in the way. I can't suspend it from the roof as the drivers hatch will be in the way. Just a puzzle to solve!!

[Deleted]

It ain't that clear in me head matey, explaining it is even harder.

[Deleted]

Well there’s absolutely nothing to show you tonight. I’ve taken the Dremel to this and I think I’m back on track with it.

Note to self “Get some drawings done before I start”

[robbo]

Still looking good Mack

[Deleted]

Robbo, Cheers fella. I feel like Rolf Harris"can you tell what it is yet"

Me "snagette" is sorted jackwagon, I've just got to fix the "ferkinwhatsitthingyflange"

Right as i said i got all Spatacus with my Dremell last night as a result The image i have in my head ain't quite what i have on the bench at the mo.

I didn't even want to do an interior but looking at what ive done i thought i could do better so,

The cab is kitted out or lined i'll build the actual seat and cockpit as a "shub ashembly"


And ive repositioned the door frame, I'd be alot further on if i had a clue as to what i was doing.



I have a question for you tho, Having done the wheel would it be daft to do an other and put it to a vote which one i use?

Hi jackwagon, Yeah I had the idea for the rear door but for some reason thought the angle would be further up the panel I’m still happy with it. Now I’m thinking whether it opens to the side or down like a private jet type door thingy. As for the wheels your right I better just get on with the tread!!

Steve, Thanks for looking in, once the basic body shape is sorted the detail will follow (soon I hope)

[Deleted]

Split it now theres an idea,

[Deleted]

No not at all matey, it all makes for a better model!!

[Deleted]

Well i've spent 2 hours at the dinner table tonight, i thought while Mrs M's at work i'll bang some tread on my tyre and what do i have to show for it. Sweet FA. The strip wouldn't stick to the resin. I'll try again tomorrow.

[Deleted]

jackwagon matey, i guess it is. I'm using the bog standard Lock tight super glue. With a little spit!!

[Deleted]

Hey, Boo The doors always open fella.

I just felt it was time for a change and the Sci Fi stuff works for me.

Cheers for the Tip with Zap Gel. I'll try and get hold of some tomorrow in town.

mack

[Deleted]

That's funny, ;D

Where can i get 30 thou hex rod from guys?

[Deleted]

Hi Guys,

jackwagon Cheers for the link, Candy shop comes to mind!!

Sorry for going awol, I've been working out of town so when i get home it just time for the wife and kids.

Any way. I'm not happy with the master wheel so i had an idea laminate 11 squres of plastic card drill out a hole and ill have another plug to start the wheel again. Great idea i thought.

Ooops



I'll have to think of a plan B.

So having right royaly shot meself in the wallet i thought i'd move on to the interior again.

Can you tell what it is yet? and no it not a toilet as my wife said.

[Deleted]

jackwagon/Steve. thank you for the heads up.

One or two of the discs where a little smaller than the others so a little filler added, with sanding to come i'll shape the wheels next.



God bless the Dremmel.

[spud]

[Deleted]

Cheers Spud, looking forward to the tread patern now!

[Deleted]

Got a little done on the wheel (no pics sorry) and more on the seat.

[Deleted]

Oh this rolls on jackwagon, slower than a slug with a limp!!

Thanks to the exelent way jackwagon did his twister wheels i nicked the idea with the wheels(sorry dude)

Finnished wheel




And covered with Mr smelly stuff


And the seat, i wouldn't mind but no one will look at this when it finnished(just as well)
