The seat backs and braces are stiff paper. Attached with white glue and epoxy. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:23 Views : 642 One down. Can I do another? Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:22 Views : 616 Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:22 Views : 630 To avoid sharp cut edges, I carefully rolled over the edges upon themselves using the toothpick to define the shape. The other tool helped to roll over the aluminum lip. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:20 Views : 624 Some of the tools I use for tooling. The small pieces are toothpicks with rounded ends. The bigger pieces are used for clay artists. The brayer is good to roll the material flat. I found that at a yard sale. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:18 Views : 633 The seats are basically tractor seats. The kit supplies pressed plastic pieces that are not really well defined. I tried my hand at making one in aluminum. The tracing shows the pattern drawing, white showed the stencil pattern and finally on the right is a cut piece of aluminum ready to be shaped. The holes are 1/8", punched from a craft store hole punch.

I removed those pieces because the adhesive didn't have good shear strength. I replaced the brass with 1/8" wood dowells that were drilled through. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:13 Views : 652 The brace pins to the barrel. I tried glueing brass tubing to the wood, but couldn't get it to stick. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:10 Views : 644 When the gun is in transport, this brace holds the barrel in place. The green piece comes from the kit. More stiff manila paper. The real piece has the stiffeners embossed in the metal. I did the same thing with some tooling aluminum and a toothpick. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:08 Views : 628 Glueing the rear wheel spindles. Aluminum angle is used to keep them square. The bite marks on the clamps are from my son's dog. The axle is kept in place with the two pieces of aluminum tube slipped over the axle dowell. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:06 Views : 641 The rear axles include brake lights and these reflectors. The green shape came with the kit. Stiff manila paper. I added the bezel (wrapped solder) and the white disk (hole punch) to later be painted as reflectors. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 08-Feb-10 09:04 Views : 712 Wheels up. Almost ready to transport. Page (45 in total) :  <<   22   23   24   25   26  [ 27 ]  28   29   30   31   32   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
