Ian Fisher Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi Phil, Those sections are much smaller and finer than they look in the picture! so it was a case and need for DIY They are 4.8mm across the back .05mm thick and sides of 2.5mm, I made them myself as I couldnt see one as small as this, then you have slightly radiused corners to the moulded stuff which is fine but not what I was looking to acheive. Next up are the racthets with finer section! watch this space for developments on that one for sure!!

Ian Fisher Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Having a go at adding sides in one go, then having cut the rebates out for the racthet holes these can be added in a bit! Thats the theory anyways..the sides are 3.5mm x 0.4mm strip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 2nd Body style more rebates in the side. I have to have a go at chopping out the others. Having started chopping individual body pieces< I think the apply as a strip and remove sections as where needed will and should give a better line along the sides of the wagons. Two down three to go! well sort of.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Fisher Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Came up with this little jig over today to get the sides marked up a bit quicker and they then should all be the same...even if they not be 100% accurate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
