Nice video, I wish my Pinz would speed up like that I was a bit amused when I saw they were using newspapers for the large area masking as I just bought today a big roll of brown paper so I dont have to tape heaps of small bits together and use up all the masking tape.

I zoomed in on the gun tractors and staff car in post #26 [ATTACH]39034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39033[/ATTACH]

Nice piccies The HMS Poseidon story is disgusting but atypical

They're not Daleks!!! I am figuring from the other photos I have and the uniforms that it is during the Japanese actions in China. Zooming in on the spare tyre I can see the brand name is in English :confused: . The tube is in the tyre

I should have known that given the big searchlight behind them :blush: No worries, something for you guys to ponder over Christmas

if its a Brother printer it could be that as I got one on my desk. worked for a month then never spools

another tank and gun tractors [ATTACH]39021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39020[/ATTACH]

I guess artillery range finders? [ATTACH]39015[/ATTACH] I thought this is interesting as that guy in the parachute is perhaps not having a good day [ATTACH]39016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39014[/ATTACH]

Rail gun as promised [ATTACH]39013[/ATTACH] Now I don't want to profess I have as much Knowledge as Steveo and Adrian about armoured vehicles, but I am fairly certain this is a Dalek [ATTACH]39012[/ATTACH]

Some arrived [ATTACH]39007[/ATTACH]

I just purchased a photo of a Japanese one and I put it in the Japanese thread

Reminds me, nearly the weekend so I better get to the hardware shop

Yes this is the thick canvas with no fibre, like boat sails Funny enough I bought a heat gun 2 days ago (as it was cheap - no other reason!) Will have a play this weekend and see what I can do

The areas I am looking at are bonded as in the middle where the aircom comes through. mind you I should experiment with welding myself on some scrap as would look nicer

you can actually pdf it and it still works as a powerpoint

Would that be that sickly smelly blue stuff? Cheers, I will have to try that I tried the model glue that you paint on with a brush that kinda melts both surfaces as thats how the Vinyl glue was described but would not penetrate the canvas. I think that original model glue was an MEK derivitive so pehaps it isnt anymore as didnt seem to be same same

Anyone know of the applicable adhesive, preferably sold by a big brand name for gluing Vinyl canvas? this stuff is meant to be the best but I don't see any for sale over here http://www.rochfordsupply.com/product_listing.asp_Q_CatID_E_406_A_SubCatID_E_426_A_ProdID_E_3262

Looking at the books, seems the cam is only different because the P93 uses hydraullic tappets which require shorter valves It dont seem to be a performance tweak, so should run same, so I can do a head change later, or rebuild the P93 engine at my leisure. Just messed around with the body today as need a puller for the cam belt tensioner which had not arrived. Needed to sweep dirt out of the back and change a few more rivnuts as will maybe paint it on Christmas day. I would like to get it painted so I can bolt body bits back on as makes me feel better when having breaks whilst tinkering with the engine. Mocked fitted the UK MoD canvas to see how much I need to cut off (which is a lot !). I need to find an international supplier of canvas glue as you can't ship this stuff any more [ATTACH]38920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38922[/ATTACH]

Actually Wolfgang, the manual states to remove it with the support in section 16 After it is removed it then states to use a puller to take the drive gear off, then remove the support bolt x 3 (17mm) As my extra, refurbished pump is already mounted on a support I don't need a gear puller or swap supports. I will have to reset the TDC and position as I dont trust the rebuild shop. The only deviation from the manual was not to remove the injector lines 'as you dont need to' So Yes I read the manual as it is sitting beside the injection pump.

Yes unibody with a central spine. They are a bit of a confusing vehicle in that they are very rugged and capable. But I often wonder about how field maintenance would be like with special tool requirements and poor access to some bits. There is often I think, how the hell would I like to be doing something in a hurry if the bad guys were coming, but I guess most new vehicles are like that now :cry: I already had this Pinz driving around as an everyday vehicle, but getting an extra vehicle with bits I wanted to incorporate has sidetracked me a lot, perhaps 6 months Great vehicle..... it better run better than new when it's finished

Well started on the timing belts, P93 injection pump, P93 injectors and new water pump. To line up the timing mark you have to peer through a hole in the gearbox bellhousing to the driving plate which is at a fairly awkward position. [ATTACH]38853[/ATTACH] Well whoever designed the fuel injection pump mounting system was a girl with very skinny long fingers :argh:. If it was a guy, he should be wearing a dress and dancing at a cabaret in Thailand. Spent most of the day getting the old one out. If I get the back end done by tomorrow I will be very happy, if not I will come home and yell at the dog and kick the wife [ATTACH]38851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38854[/ATTACH] The P93 top cover is different but it mysteriously disappeared, so I got a whole new nose for another cover. The day after the guy that lost it, says "look what I found!". [ATTACH]38855[/ATTACH]
