The spring is thin wire wrapped around a pin. Each hatch has 8 parts in addition to white glue to create the "bump" to allow headroom for the driver. Materials are solder, basswood, card stock, dowells and wire. |

| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 20-Jan-11 13:39 |  | | Views : 614 | | The front end. I had to reshape the transmission cover, as it wasn't round enough. I cut shapes out of card stock, glued on either side and filled with lightweight spackle. You can kind of see the original shape (wood) and the new shape (white). |
