Made a complete pigs ear of trying to stick a narrower piece on latex on. Strectched in all directions, so rippled and the super glue shows through where it's too think. Time for plan c. Stick paperstrips to the latex. Make oversize so can trim neatly to the correct width and then stick the...

In theory should work. Ball attached to a tube on one side, The a ring on the tube side joined to a ring on the other with at least 3 arms joining them together would work. Then join the ring to the other cab. I would get a prototype done first :thumb: as below

Thanks for kind comments. Yes it will be going in the download section when I get it finished (sometime towards the end of the year at this rate) I was thinking about various ways to joint the 2 section and accordion was one of them, but in truth and despite all the other fiddley bits I reckon...

Evening all. Taken a while to get further with the project. Had to rework all the parts of the hinge mechanism as all slightly out. Also joined the 2 parts together (this is still work in progress but it appears to be a sound theory) Gone back to the latex glove idea (or latex free glove. is...

Been thinking about this bit for a while and decided the best way is to create a flange to attach whatever the joining material will be (more fiddley bits, sorry folks :p) It is set one paper width in, the plan is then to wrap a 4mm strip to sandwich it (and cover any bad joins) Material wise...

Ah, that explains what all those bits were when Gold 5 blow up. Pringles everywhere. sign1

Happy new year to everyone balloon6(always wanted to use that one) Sobered up enough to do some more building. Hi Zathros all this will be covered up, so doesn't matter what it looks like, I just got a bit carried away. One thing's for sure, this will have a terrible turning circle.

6 days of no work and this is the first time I get to post. good to see everyone else has been busy. On with the show, got after a few attempts a definitive version 1 hinge system. (well half off it) Slight cheat again as using a steel pin :eek:

Merry Christmas and good cheer to all.

And not the bit I've been putting off, joining the 2 sections. I had a thought of using a silver christmas knapkin for the joining cover, but realised it wouldn't stretch, so will be taking Zathros up on his suggestion on latex (some many months ago now), but then worked out it would more than...

Hi Patron-zero, just got around to reading the book recently, after all these years. It's a good sci-fi read. Also inspired Judge Dredd Cursed Easth saga, if you are into you comics. Available as graphic novel, excluding burger wars due to legal reasons. A few of the larger take away food...

Nice model :thumb: Cocktail doesn't look very appetizing :cry:

I picked some up at the local 'Poundstretcher' for £1.99. That is stretching a pound. "Other stores selling prodcuts for a similar value are available" And completely off topic found this? Does it look familiar?

Superb. The gun assembly could be a kit on it's own. The detail is fantastic.

Very nice build. Why's it pink in the first pictures (or is that just me, if so ignore that bit) Now you'll have to build a dropship to go with it :twisted:

:eek: wow, shiny. that's the business.

5000, I'm there. Thanks to everyone's interest, thanks for the encouragement, especially Zathros. It's not an Oscar speech. Now need to get my finger out and finish the damn thing

5000 wow, I was happy with 500. One of the advantages of taking ages building the model. In theory if I take an infinite time to do this, I should get an inifinite number of views. Now that would be something :twisted: Clif52, I can't see a link

Suberb work as always. I used toothpicks for my Landmaster missiles, it makes sense to me.

I've been very diciplined (which is very unusual) and held off. Just watched 6 episodes in one, that's the way to do it. Very good so far. Definitely a series. In this world of remakes and crap ideas, I'm suprised it wasn't done. Now to wait a bit longer, but I've tasted the forbidden fruit...
