I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I ain't broke it yet playing with it. Without the copper tube and brass pieces, I don't imagine that these built kits would last too long in a kid's hands.But seeing that four of these kits I own were only partially built when I bought them, I'll bet most of these kits were never completed in the first place. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 16-Mar-10 10:29 Views : 577 I was suprised to see how big the real gun is.There's a picture on the web of a Bofor being towed by a pickup truck. The gun is about half again as long as the truck. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 16-Mar-10 10:27 Views : 585 No, I didn't just flop the image. It actually steers! Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 16-Mar-10 10:26 Views : 607 Details of the turning mechanism for the trailer. I pretty much followed the stinkin' directions (as my wife tells me) but substituted copper tube and brass jewelry pieces for the wood parts. I figured it would be much sturdier that way.

Metal washers on bolts worked well but then cut into the aluminum. The white wheel worked well. It is a roller from a sliding shower door. Almost there, but not quite yet. I think I have a better solution and will post a bit later. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 19-Feb-10 10:22 Views : 559 For the spent shell evac slide, they give you some plastic tubing that you need to dunk in hot water and form to shape. And then cut to size. Seemed to risky for me to play with fire and water. I tested making one out of aluminum and this wheel, which is aluminum rod and cardboard disks. As a first step it worked out fine. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 19-Feb-10 10:19 Views : 585 One side completed. 72 grooves per side. Only 504 more grooves to cut. I may want to finish one and cast it in resin. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 19-Feb-10 10:18 Views : 559 Kit tire (tyre), template, rat-tail jeweler's file and the worked-on tire. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 19-Feb-10 10:16 Views : 603 The tires look ok as supplied, but need the side grooves added. The instructions state, "For added detail, wheel may be notched at corners of tread as partially indicated on full scale drawing." They don't say how to do it. So I made this template and, using a spindle, set it over the tire (or tyre, for you folks across the pond) and mark loctions using a pencil lead. Ink shows up better, but the lead seams to file smoother. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 19-Feb-10 10:12 Views : 586 A little tweaking yet. The tow bar should rest at the horizontal. Just some trimming of the wood. Page (8 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
