Eveing?

Is this something like eve-teasing? (You get signs on Indian buses telling you not to do it). I'll leave the rest to your (no doubt) fertile imaginations.

Hi there,

do you fancy making your own?? They arent that difficult:

Couple of flat needle files, some ten thou brass shim.

pair tin snips, flat nose pliers - also 1/16 diameter tube and some 15 amp single core cable

I make all my own - that's why none of our doors will shut? ;D

only joking - seriously they arent difficult to make at all.

Aye

OK everyone, the hinges are for Jan's Puffer,? I was hoping I could sneak the question quietly onto the Forum but Jan spotted it!? :P
The TOP & Bottom hinges look the best bet, 2 pairs of each please Jan. Please see if they sell? suitable screws too please.

Jan's Puffer is in it's final stages and will have a major update on Mayhem once it's finished.... honest!

Martin

PS. Thanks for that Blurbird, I knew you'd know how to make them ;D  - Do you think we should have a hints and Tips page on the Forum

Hi ya Martin,? (from one Blurbird to another Blurbird) was the blur due to too much amber nectar? ;D ;D ;D

I dont know how to make everything? ;D 'cause I dont know how to get Riggers to make his crash tender - when I can solve that problem - I may be able to solve a lot more problems.? ;D ;D

Aye may be a good idea to have a hints and tips page? ;D? for those who want to 'scratch'

and yes doc I am definitely 'un-hinged' gotta be these days? :D ;)

LOOK LOOK RIGGERS A CRASH TENDER - THAT IS WHAT YOURS WILL LOOK LIKE  ;D  COME ON STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND GET ON WITH IT MY MATE & PRODUCE A LOVELY MODEL JUST LIKE THIS ONE ABOVE ;D ;D

I need a crew for the Puffer :o

We are at the painting stage, which is also the "why didn't I paint that earlier stage!"

 
I need a captain, & 2 or 3 crew, what are your recommendations for makers and suppliers?



............... and has anyone got time ( and skill ) to paint them for me?
Top rates of pay..... one whole bottle of beer..... value brand!

Martin .Did you get the bolts for your hinges? I tried 14 and 16 BA but lost most the nuts and did not think they looked all that good, I then used 3/32 rivets and found they looked better and it did not matter if you lost them.a few picks

Martin, if you are heading for really fine hinges- just ask your local optician for a a pair of old glasses- which had been left to throw away. They are the finest I know and you may use them down to a scale of about 1:48...  ;)

Happy modeling, J?rg
