Ripaman Posted April 13 Next up was to change the seats which did not look right Made these out of brass tube and .003" brass shim Made the hinges work Until next time Regards Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 13 (edited) Nice soldering work! That steering linkage is quite well done. Did you use Albion Alloy tubes on that? If not, check them out as they have 0.1mm walls, e.g,. 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 are a telescoping tubing set. Oh, and welcome aboard!

Thanks for the welcome and yes did use Albion brass tube bought all sizes from .3 to 2 mm I think have the steering work makes for more realistic looks made the white ball by rolling two part epoxy putty and filling to size Regards Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
