Tony B Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 That is as much work as a full scale build! Real respect! :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okdoky Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Tony ,,,,,,,,,,,,, It is getting to be a challenge to get as close as I can !!!!! I really do appreciate how tough it is for the master builders to get the real accuracy in other scales !!!!!!!! Hard enough for me to get close in 1/24 th but good fun trying !!!!

Enigma Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Love the fiddly jobs on this. You need to be precise and patient to alter/make this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okdoky Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I am getting into a point where I should really start painting things as it is starting to get too busy around the engine bay !!!

okdoky Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 A very productive night building the battery carrier out of aluminium foil and minimum of plastic !!! Anyone know if you can buy individual batteries ready made ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okdoky Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 A few tweeks on the battery carrier Trying out the placement before fixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okdoky Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Every penny is a prisoner these days so it does help to recycle when I can !!!!!!!! A little more footering about getting the battery carrier mounted Just hope the aluminium u channel brackets survive through to painting and handling. Surprisingly rigid !!!!!1 Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okdoky Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Filling up the chassis A wee bit of a break and only the brakes been worked on The bleedin glues refused to take any hold on the mix of plastic tubing leaving the rings floating about or popping off at the slightest nudge !! Thought a light sanding would help, but still an issue even now !!! Am finding blue tack to be a very useful third hand for jobs like drilling and even cutting And had to fix a screw up with flexi pipe routes Wrong side After correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okdoky Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Have been getting time to tinker with the plastic while I am up at Lossiemouth at the caravan (likely the last time at Silver Sands unfortunately). My work bench for the two weeks Getting all the bits to fit just right is bleeding awkward especially as a couple of mm out in one place throws things out elsewhere ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and it is so hard to predict where the effect will knock on to or multiply up until you hit the next problem area !!!!!!! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Will be a few cuts and shuts in areas hopefully that will be hidden from view except for those in the know !!!!!!! Rear brakes and load sensor Mounting the cab has meant having to tweek the front axle and the bumper to make sure the cab sits right !!!!! Am enjoying chilling out on hols and getting wee hits on the build Niige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
