Kaleb Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ive done my research so I dont want to have a dual post.I am still working on a 1/12 late model mustang and the door hinges have stumped me. I have tried just about everything including piano hinges.Anyone have a link to an article? or tip on how to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 That's what I had seen, and I may have to go that route. I have built them before in smaller scale. I guess, don't fix what works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If you really want an impressive model you can construct hinges which will work like the ones on the real car (where the front edge of the door swings to the inside of the fender, not like a typical die-cast or Hot-Wheels model where the door swings out from the fender. Just observe how the hinge of your 1:1 car is built and make a miniature version. You might have to thin the fender at the door opening to allow the door to swing in.

crazyjim Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You might want to check out the Fatkidd Hobby Products hinge tool. It's very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
