RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted August 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 Unusually I’m pleased with something I’ve done. I’ve tweaked the paint on the ladder not that it’s noticeable if you didn’t know I don’t think anyone would realise half of it is buried I do love it when a plan comes together 8 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Most of us would probably have tried to over engineer that and run into problems. I think that it's a great and simple solution. Nicely done! 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was the best I could come up with without completely butchering the signal, when I took apart the one for the platform it was a nightmare to put back together and I’m sure it doesn’t work as well as it did before disassembly 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intriguing you ve put "mostly" in there ~ is that shades of Triggers broom? New frame/ New wheels/ New saddle ? Or just consumables ~ brake cables/ tyres/ brake blocks? Would love to still have my Peugeot tourer of the same vintage. Gone, but not forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple solution, as @MrWolf highlights, is often the best. And no more balancing on stools required to get a drivers eye view picture. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted August 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’ve drawn up a counterbalance and printed it out, unfortunately you can’t see the detail in the photo possibly show up better once it’s all weathered? 8 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted August 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) after looking at it I wondered if I could repurpose one of the cable pulleys I had so I snipped off the mounting lug at one end, painted it black and Bob’s your uncle Incredibly cruel close up put at normal viewing distance it looks quite good…..well to me at least which is the main thing Edited August 14, 2021 by chuffinghell 8 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stu, high praise indeed It definitely needs a little weathering as it’s far too clean It’s a real shame that Dapol didn’t go that extra mile and have these details on in the first place, obviously down to the accounts department Edited August 16, 2021 by chuffinghell 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
