KILLER break down,intructional tip VID
I have a baggie filled with sharpies, fat tip & skinny tip, guess I won't be running out...lol!! Your like me I hate to wait for glue to dry, I just wanna get the damn thing built...lol! I'm bad at using measurements on a ruler, so I eyeball everything & hope it'll work out in the end...sometimes it don't. Love your frame work & thank you for the tip, this will come in handy to drop my 65' truck...bro you have inspired me, thank you. Kutgw, peace!!
Great information, I am starting to get into scratch building 1:25 scale models. Kinda tired of not being able to find the exact kit that I want for ideas that I have. Been looking for a good instructional tutorial on scratch building a rolling chassis for resin truck cabs etc. Thanks for the help!
Yep. I did. LOL I thought the same thing your thinking when i first saw it, but, It was packaged and laboled as a " miniature slide rule" when I bought it.
Its cool. Thanks bro.
thanks man
Hey thanks bro
Oh I forgot to ask, how do you build the plates on the a-arms for the bags to sit on & engine mounts. Thank you again.
It depends. On the front I usually just cut a flat plate and round off the front, then just glue it to the top of the bag , and to the frame on the top. The a arm bag mounts are usually close to the same. If it can be seen after Im finished, Ill try a little harder. LOL
oh yea.. engine mounts I like just a couple of pieces of .040 rod coming at an angle off of the cross member to the engine block. And check out some of the websites like airbagit . c o m and suicide doors. c o m and just look at some of the air arms they offer and how there mounts are set up. I just try to mimic that.
excurs my rudeness , I guess I shouldn't post before my cup of coffee , sorry bout that .. keep up the great vids !
Yeah I meant .060 and .080 Its not a home work or lack of knowledge thing. I was a Ind. Maint. Tech for over a decade so Im well versed with the measurements from using calipers and micrometers. But I have a bad habit of dropping the first zero when I verbaly state the numeric size. I would normally just say sixty or eighty thousandths so when I say the numeric size it comes out as .6 etc . Just a bad habit that Ive never been able to kick. LOL
