gatorincebu Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016     Wow! I still can't get over the level of detail you are putting into this model. That clothes closet is just too cool !    Be Well  Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks so much Gator. The hanging clothes in the closet aren't really detailed since you can only see the sides of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The cuts you make in that printer plate are so precise and clean.I have yet to master working with that stuff except for making some small painted brackets.What method dor you use to keep it flat and make those neat corners?The plate I have still has some sort a green finish on it that I can't get off easily.I would love to make a Hallock style windshield for my '21 Olds speedster from it id I can figure how to take down to the bare metal.Oven cleaner won't touch the stuff and sanding leaves it too scratched to work with.Any suggestions?

gasser59 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) For the cuts, I usually cut oversized with either a scissors or by using multiple cuts with an Xacto and sand down the edges with an emory board using progressively smaller grain so they end up polished. I have a difficult time bending the thicker stuff but on the thinner stuff, I bend it over the edge of my metal ruler for a precise and crisp bend. That green stuff on the one side of the thicker material is a real bear to remove. i use  various attachments on my Dremel like the one for stripping paint. In most applications, rarely do both sides of the aluminum show, so that helps.I hope this helps.

Belugawrx Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A bit of work done on this finally. Added another box and a pillow to the shelf in the wardrobe closet, no picture at this time. Now that the driver's side cabinet is complete, it got glued in place. Also made a soap dish for the bathroom/shower our of printing plate and evergreen. OK the soap,........Irish Spring?

misterNNL Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks Brad,I'll try a Dremel attachment.I had not thought of trying that.I am also building a 1935 Airstream Torpedo trailer and would like to include some printer's plate parts on that build.

gasser59 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Dang, I have plans to build one of those. Do you have all of the blueprints and reference pictures for the Torpedo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a lot of stuff I gathered on this trailer and of course I am always willing to share.PM with your email address and I will be glad to share what ever I have that you can use.Wally's "plans" were actually more like suggestions with minimal dimensions for a basic trailer with the final details left up to the builder.

gasser59 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have a bunch of plans too so maybe between the two of us, we can get a couple decent ones built. Did you see where Dr. Holman's was for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) I have been stalled on this project because I just couldn't find any age appropriate tires. Well, I got the 1966 Ford Bronco kit for Christmas and I think those tires are going to work really well. I'll have to get back on this as all it needs now is my time.
