Have you ever tried to build one in brass? I know it's more difficult but with your talent I think you have what it takes. Don't see any pressure there, I'm just curious. 😁 I should add that I have lost track of the number of times I thought "Why didn't I just scratchbuild this dadgum thing?!"😂 That's so much more fun than cleaning up mold lines!

Straightliner59 Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Building a blower and injector...The injector is cast nail resin, drilled for brass rod fittings. I'm going to run "rubber" hoses. The plate is .010" Evergreen. The allen heads are wire insulation. Next up, I'll work on the fuel valve. Thanks for looking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McLaren Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Sorry for not commenting on this build till now, moving to a new city pretty much used up the last two months. I'm really liking this project, great workmanship and the extra photos of the nostalgia car and your brass work were great. Well done Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got distracted by another model I've had sitting around, so I haven't got back to this one, yet. I've kind of been thinking about that new body for the NFD. It should be a piece of cake--I already have the patterns for the panels just by flattening the soft ones out and copying them onto flashing. It really would be a cool model! Where did you move to? When I was a kid, we used to get to Lethbridge, fairly regularly. I've always loved Canada. Beautiful place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
