discussion Kerr Stuart No 4415 build.

[Gwyn]

Bob I have just seen your individual rivets a appreciate the skills required to get them so well aligned and spaced, well done.

Thank you very much Gwyn I have had lots of practice, it's down to the marking out I use a clutch pencil with a 0,5 lead. Unfortunately it's reacts with the liquid poly and make the model look drab until its primed.

Monica thank you for your kind comment. You can hopefully see in the picture where the rivet heads come from bit of a fiddle to stick on using a pin and some liquid poly.

thank you Bob,they do look fiddly,handy to know,always useful info, 9_9

Ok the electrics have arrived and it fits where it’s supposed to, small adjustment to the speaker mount. Now then the red goes errrr. Also finished the radiator and engine controls. The radiator is a home 3D print. The skirt is also finished apart from a couple of holes. Hope you like.

Ok its all in one piece now and performs well after removing the flanges from the center wheel set. The sound unit it spot on and when I get chance I will do a small vid. Still needs tiding up and weathering but that will have to wait tell after my hols. Hope this has been of interest.

coming along very nicely liking the whole thing,

That is wonderful. Embraces both the new hi tech with 3D printing and traditional Plastic and glue! Just curious. How big is it. I can see it is quite large but a picture with some thing for scale would be great.


When you do the video be sure to show us the garden layout. 

 

[Guest]

Thanks Ian for your comments. Its 8 1/2" long 3 3/4 " wide and 6" tall to 1/19th scale or 16mm to the foot. I was lucky and got a set of works drawing from a friend. Have attached a quick pic next to a 1/16 tank. The video may be taken at my local club track but I will do one later of my track in the garden with pleasure.
