1/32 komatsu excavator

[wrighty2482]

Hey lads and ladies I'm looking to build a 1/32 komatsu excavator just looking for help. I will start putting up picks once I start thanks everyone

[wrighty2482]

Hey just want to get a bit of feed back on cold weld. I want to do the screw mechanisms but I'm using 3 mm brass tube and I don't have the tools to weld it will cold weld do. Or will I have to tig weld ?

[TRUCKMAKER]

You'll want to solder brass, with a very hot soldering iron or small propane torch.

You can find some input at You Tube. RC Tractor Gay show the building in some vid's.

Hey thanks for the videos I have seen them b4
When I use the torch do I need flux or does the solder have enough thanks for ur help already

[TRUCKMAKER]

I've always used a flux, it flows the solder, makes for a better joint.

[wrighty2482]
