Default Re: After all the planning - ya Just gotta have faith

OK - so ya have it all cut up .... and then it hits ya - what in the H$(( did I just do - took a perfectly good cab and made it into scraps. HAve faith probie - it will work out.

Next step is to clean up the cut edges - sand a little on the glue surfaces - nothin to heavy just a little rouch up...

Then start glueing togther - use scrap pieces to "plate" the joint - this way if yo crash it shouldn't break as easy.....





Notice I used some other pieces to hold the base square - and made sure I was on a flat surface - we don't want the cab to be twisted...



I used .010 styrene on the joint for the sides - this allows it to be flexed into position later - theyre angled inward on an IH











.... more to come.....
