Roy vd M. Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks Roy.....the vertical ribs are just plain an simple plastic card.....I put a strip where the rib is to go first (after punching holes with a needle to represent rivets) and then glue on top of that another fine cut strip !...takes some time but works I think Thanks for the reply... however what I mean is the ribs running from top to bottom. So the ones with a wider strip 'on top'. It puzzles me how you achieved the bend in the narrow middle piece. I made a little drawing to show you what I mean. I'm talking about the strip that, on the drawing, is referenced as "this strip". I hope I made the drawing correct. sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You're right, fozzy. That white on black chart is where the action is. Now, we don't have to do any photoshop. Thanks again, Rich. fozzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzy Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I just love all the wiring work. Wow this rocks. Oliver Thanks Oliver... I am still finishing off all the small detail in the Navigator/Bombardiers position...should have an update soon............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi everyone Well I said that I was finishing off the small detail in the Nav/Bombardiers compartment before attempting the guns.....well that was a laugh! ....still not complete! CHIN TURRET GUN SIGHT I did manage after 4 days to replicate some sort of gun sight however.....this I might add is my interpretation as lack of decent photos made it very difficult. I do have many photos but most of them are all either face on or 3/4 angle shots ....forcing me to imagine what the other side looks like!......I think it looks like the N-6 sight attached to the motor frame...so it will have to do!!! I also managed to de -size the great photo that Rich posted for Silver Dollar and me.....I glued it to a plastic board and then glued it in position......ironic really as after all the effort of finding the blasted thing .....the scale of it destroys most of the detail of the print and you can hardly see it!!! Any way ....slightly nervous in showing these photos as the sight nearly beat me ...................... So thats a couple of pics of the Bomb glide chart............ ....and here is that blasted Gun Sight!!!!............. Well there you are!!! I still have a tiny bit more detail to do before the guns but will take time as I cant seem to find good enough photos of the 50 cal side gun attachment pulleys and cables.....but will get back to you when done! Thanks chaps for taking the time and looking at this Fozzy sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
