You could simulate it with some thin tubing and some picture hanging wire running through it to move the flaps etc ,,maybe?Originally posted by \
Started bulding the engine from bottom up, has to be in situ coz there's so much piping and cabling to fit in. Got the end cylinders for the air system in place, pipes will be added when dry. the little silver block on the left bulkhead is the basis of the fusebox and needs more wires etc adding
The balsa and plastic engine block will only just be visible through all the stuff on top, but still tried to get it to look "something like"

thanks for the comments ...
finished a bit more on the engine and (hopefully) got the doors on tonight.
no pics as it's ballancing precariously on some paint pots and the doors are propped up with balsa bits and tweezers
I balanced it all .. got up and left the room ... daren't even open the door till it's dry
will post pictures of the near-finished little beastie tomorrow.Comment

Is a perfect Hummer! Don't will change if you show simple or on a dio!!
You have 4 months, time enough to do a perfect scene or similar. Or just say.... "it's finished, want to start a new project!"
The choice us in your hands!!

That is really very nice.
Like the paintwork & that superb weathering some artistic stuff there.
