  4. Great stuff Dennis, I like it all!
  5. Glad you guys approve of the color. Paint is curing ahead of detail painting of the body.
  6. Very nice work.
  7. Glad you guys find this information useful. It takes a little practice and I still screw up from time-to-time but getting a custom fit roll cage is worth the effort to me.
  8. That is an impressive garage.
  9. Lots of interesting stuff here Kurt, but I would expect no less from one of your builds.
  10. Thanks Kurt. I use a small triangular profile file and make the birds mouths in a "v" shape. Those non-tapered rounds files look like they would work well.
  11. B&W photo but it appears to me the scope has a flat finish.
  12. Glad you followed my build Mike and found it helpful.
  13. Nice trading with you too catpack68 (Scott).
  14. You can see just the ends of the brass pins (on the backside of the main roll hoop) in this picture. The bird mouth notches are visible on the ends of the cross bar along the top of the windshield opening.
  15. Ron, I cut the joint flat then file a v-notch in the end. Sometimes I'll drill and pin the joint as well I typically use liquid cement (Testors is my personal favorite) but have also used super glue. I also like to dissolve bits of scrap styrene in Plast-I-weld and brush it on the joint like metal weld. After it's has setup I file to joint to shape very similar to what you might do in a 1:1 application. I create the bends using my fingers or round needle nose pliers - then holding the bend in my fingers heat the joint over a candle flame to set the shape.
  16. Those wheels look great.
  17. Thanks Tom. No I don't use a pattern, just eyeball it.
  18. Love the color.
  19. That think is going to be epic Si - very impressive!
