Has anyone ever made a set of paino hinges from brass? Would like some ideas other then Modelcar gargages photo ecth.

Thanks Bill

I haven't made any from scratch, but I found some "barn door" style brass hinges in the doll house section of a craft store quite a few years ago that I modified to work. It was a little blister pack that had two pieces of formed brass and a bunch of little brass nails to hold them together.

i made one so far, but it is not technically a piano hinge

i just gleud a section of 1/8 styrene tube to the roof of the car

put a little steel wire through it

got a piece of styrene sheet and drilled two holes in it

put the wire through the holes and glue the plate to the door

all done

you need to ask this guy

MR.BIGGS

he did it on his 300 semi tractor trailer

the only problem is he hasn't been here for about 4-6 months but you can pm him and see if he will tell you how to do them
