Wow, this has to be one of the best turnouts for Sunday Models! So many great builds. Hacker Joe, Love your brass work, something I dabble in as well. Ok guys you are probably sick of seeing these but it illustrates that working in brass is not as difficult as it may seem. If I can do these below there are many of you out there with much more talent than me that could and should give this a try! Rail chassis, built exactly like Joe's from pictures and there abouts engineering. Draw up your own plans and go!! And then there is an O/T build but it again shows what you can do, Aston Martin DB5 in 1/32 scale. Sorry about the pic size! I cant seem to reduce them. Doc.
Since I decided on the 4spd for the car, the original crossmember will be deleted in favor of a tube style. Working with the silver bearing solder at this point because it's so forgiving & easily re-profiled for best configuration. Will shape a bending buck out of some wood for consistancy & use aluminum rod for the final product.
