Fozzy, 

Sir,

 

I may have missed it in all the previous posts, but what are you using or how are you making the pulleys for the control cables?  Im really wanting to do a scratch of my own (thinking a B-25J under restoration, to show off the internal detail) and it will have many pulleys.

 

You are amazing at this build sir

Hi Dan

 

I am an English man living in Bulgaria so you can use English! ;).

 

So the pulleys? The pulleys for the cables don't actually work (display purposes only!) and so I shaped them out of plastic scrap....easy to do!

 

Cheers....Fozzy

Good afternoon all

 

At long last I managed to get to my work bench and continue with the bomb bay!default_smile.png

 

I decided in the end to construct the bomb bay doors before doing anything else....mainly because I thought that this was going to be laborious and time consuming...and of course I was right!default_sad.png....but they had to be built and I can say that I have completed the Port door so far!....starting the Starboard door later today.

 

Here is the same photo as in the last post to show you and a reminder of the shape of the ribs that I had to make out of plastic.......

Then came the laborious part of making up 20 of them!default_ohmy.png

 

vv%20003_zps29y6cgwp.jpg

 

The ribs were then glued onto a sheet of plastic and then the various other parts made from plastic glued into position making up the Port bomb bay door.......

Here it is offered into position on the Bombay............

So now I have to do the same again for the Starboard door!

 

I will also have to place the brackets for the piston arm that operates the opening and closing of the doors as well as the pins that I will use as the door hinges....but I will do that when I attach the doors.....and before you ask....no the doors will not be able to open and closedefault_wink.png.....they will be fixed in the open position!

 

So I'll get back to you when that's completedefault_smile.png

 

Thanks for looking in

Hi everyone

 

Well as you can see Photo Bucket have put a sudden block on all my photos to this post wanting to charge the ridiculous amount of $399 to link my photos.

 

Of course I am not alone and many other modellers here are in the same position.

 

It has taken me some time to calm down I have to say ...when I found out this afternoon as I was about to post a new posting that all my ...and indeed other modellers.... hard work has just been wasted........ years of posting our articles...all gone over night!

 

I am going to wait a while to see what happens with Photo Bucket in case its a scam or they come to their senses and drop the hosting charge considerably.......but I shall not be holding my breath.....mean while I shall continue to build my B17G and if any of you are interested you can go to my Facebook page to see some updated photos........

 

...............................................https://www.facebook.com/martinfostersscratchbuiltmodels/

 

I will be back once things have settled down....BTW...if any one knows of a simple photo hosting service...give me a shout!

 

Cheers

 

Fozzy
