JCH Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Hi All, Is it cheating to post here and on Brit Modelers? If so, I'll shut up. Otherwise here's some recent work. I'm currently working on the side pods and wire harness. By far the most complex build I've attempted. Color coding copious notes, for my forgetful mind, are mandatory. 2
Dragline Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Is this also posted on YouTube? If so Ive been following that one.
JCH Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Time spent on the sidepods. Mostly fiddling with wiring. While I'm not thrilled with the work, I am mostly pleased. 2
JCH Posted June 23 Author Posted June 23 More sidepod work... Top Studio provides an adhesive backed mat finish sheet that you cut into strips the width of the strap. They also provide PE clasps/eyelet for the end of the strap. The PE base of the box includes hooks for the clasps. The trick is determining the length of the strap. Thankfully TS provides a large sheet for 2nd and 3rd tries. I'm not sure how TS expects the 2nd wire to be attached. I took a bit of super fine wire and CA'd it to the side of the wire that will be next to the sidepod (out of sight). A bit of glass black and it's ready. It turned out and I'm please.

JCH Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Author Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Hey all, a few recent updates... Both sidepods are on the tub. These cables are fiddly. Thankfully I'm please with the recent work. Thanks for looking!
