hobbybobby Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thank you very much! And it goes on. I find, that the wheelbase of the rear axle, is too close to the exhaust pipes. I extended the drive shaft, so I moved it back about 5 mm... So it looks now... Hope, you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Now I devote a little time to adjust the exhaust pipes. These kits have eight individual exhaust pipes for the engine, but no end openings... First, open up, or rather, I cleen out the Ends... Here are all with the open and matt black painted Ends...

hobbybobby Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have trouble with these kits to mount the eight exhaust pipes, all right, and in row, also, if I all, first mount to the small plates and then to the engine... Especially not enough for me, is this little hump, which is intended for bonding... So, to make this easier and better for me, I have done the following steps: Especially now I can plug in each individual, twist, turn and set it in the desired angle without it drops immediately... Hope, you like it and tis tip helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thank you very much! This is from a colander, it is made of aluminum... From a small piece of it, I cut out a round one... I have a few marbles in different diameters. I can now rounding the part, through push the part with this marble and my fingers... So it looks finished and mounted... ... and so the whole...

hobbybobby Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thank you all very much for the kind comments, I really do appreciate them! And it goes on. The front light... I have previously cut from the second earring, this part: The back side of the support is hollow... ... but I would like, it seems a bit more stable... ... so, I fill it out with white glue... ... and when it is completely dry, I dip it in paint and it will look good...

hobbybobby Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 My wife gives me her discarded jewelry and I'm glad... ... because I can continue to use it... ... though, in another sense... ... or only, partially ... This end of a necklace is perfect as holder of the lantern... ... that, I now glued to the top of the holder: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) That the oven makes some sense, there must be installed a chimney pipe... I've tried a few things, but just this, looked good... ... plastic drinking straws! Whatever the reason, all of these I had at home, ripped when I turned around a little bit... ... only the yellow remained flexible, two pieces are needed for this project, along with a "pipe cleaner"... ... cut to the required length... The idea is, if I will bend the tubes in desired directions and angles, that the tubes remain stable through the pipe cleaner... I slots now the ends of the tubes... ...that I want to connect with each other... ... now it still needs a little color...

hobbybobby Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thank you all very much for the kind comments, I really do appreciate them! And it goes on. I mount the pipe cleaner first, let the pictures speak... Well, to install the stove pipe was more difficult, than I thought... ... a little color and mounted, the lower part is simply... ... but, the hole in the roof is too small for the ribbed section of the stove pipe... Thus, I had to fix the second part of the tube, coat the pipe cleaner, together with the roof and the house, and the house fix with the base, at the same time...

Nick Notarangelo Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't get impressed very often on this site but this is some dang good work so far. Very straight forward and talk about reusing anything on hand,nice job. Now the question is what are you going to do if you get the actual kit of this?

Now the question is what are you going to do if you get the actual kit of this? This, I started to do out of necessity, because where I live, there is not even the model kits that I want, because it lacks the great demand and the model building is dying out... ... so I began to exploit other opportunities... Hmm, I no longer believe, ever to get this kit, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
