PROPELLER

Painting skills I don't have... Congrats!

Hi gentlemen and many thanks!To CrazyCrank, you are welcome... Today doors, again! Adjust_again_ parts added, adjust... Parts? Milling machine is not so far! The last door is coming... Dan.

Thank you gentlemen! After the locks, handles and hinges... And some settings, of course. I used Pocher's hinges, not in the same way... The interior handle is really a pure product of the 30': On the body... And the handle in detail: Executed on my dirty, dusty, rusty Unimat 3, as me, but it works! Dan.

Thank you very much Roy for your proposition! First, for the Delage, I have to complete the Bugatti before... May be one or two years. If God willing, and your current work will be for me much useful, why not? For the spark plugs connectors, two pics, one with a very bad quality , but it's the way... Dan.

Thanks Roy! But remember, I work in 1/8 scale... 1/12 is an other thing, out of my capabilities! But when I saw your spark plug, I'm no longer worried... Another coincidence, this car was in my mind a possible new challenge. In fact is really a magnificent car! I opted the facility, may be...

Thanks Wayne! My day job? Pocher's surgeon... I'm retired! In my first life, I have been an advertising man... I have now to adjust the doors... And of course to do this, I must think about the locks. Fortunately, only two! And as you have seen, that doors seems as chicken coops doors rather than luxury cars doors...First steps: Two parts by Pocher, cam and a part of the spring, the rest, mine...It must be functional, of course! In situ... Have a nice modeling Sunday!Dan.

Congratulations Roy! Your perseverance and details research are rally amazing! I love that. For machining tips and tricks, take a look at the kind of this site... It was very useful for me! http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/forumdisplay.php?s=503b463bc79936fc4d08799bd3074002&f=31 Dan.

Thank you very much Wayne, Poul An Keith! It's not an easy way, I admit. But it's a part of the challenge, to approach the wooden bodywork, I said approach... Well, lot of work, and nothing great to show.But for the moral, it is good to check if all is well, for now! The spare well hatch. Not completed, two days... Dan.

My god Roy, are you joking? Oak of course... And a mistake! Hard to work with, but in the real life in Molsheim...

Thank you very much knuts and larchiefeng, it's a real challenge, I agree... Today, some settings and some pieces of wood, again: Dan.

It's an hard way larchiefeng, but you are in the good way, congrats!

Good stamping work Poul!

I'm hit, not sunk... good shoot Roy!

Hum, my opinion, I'm sorry, a sacrilege, a crime maybe?

Thanks Poul, I agree with you some work is needed... Work on the body, some piece of wood too, of course! Why, for the doors: Doors, but Bugatti's doors! In the real life: I agree, we can done more simple, french people you know... In 1/8 scale, mine: Dan.

As far as I can larchiefeng! First step a piece of wood. To stiffen the structure and also to rectify the curvature of the hood : Done... Now, new angle. The choice is 32°, let's go! Surgery on the door too... And the partial result: The new firewall is coming too... Dan.

Thank you Roy... Today, I'm sure you will understand why I have worked on the gearbox: Front shock absorbers also: Parts... Hand brake and the shifter will be chromed: Milling in the mass... So, I'm tired of the mechanics, I'am going to the bodywork!It appears some work is needed, the yellow one is the real car... Thanks for looking! Dan.

On wheels! Dan.

I do agree with krow113... They look as "resumption" tools. Reprise in french, to finishing some special pieces...

Welcome to the hijackers! It's a life for a decent post... Louvres, more: http://www.geraldwingrove.com/Bentley_Build/Gallery_-11.html Today, surgery: Another way for (small) louvres, mine... And, what a surprise(!), the end of the rear of the exhaust line: Have a nice modeling WE! Dan.

Don't worry Wayne, you are welcome! And sorry too to you, I use standard flux for plumbing (DIY) with a tip of trace as applicator... Unfortunately, I don't really understand the use of silver soldering for static models! Sorry CrazyCranck. The best material, for micro silver soldering, made in France (Yeah!): https://www.multirex.net/micro-chalumeau-2800,fr,4,200024.cfm Well, first many thanks to CrazyCrank which me discover the protective (or protection?) plates on the Bugatti's chassis! Thanks also to Mister Windgroove, it's his technical solution for the louvres: Dan.

Thank you very much guys for your kind words! To larchiefeng, my different solder: Green one, standard, on the left, f= 180°C tin 60%, lead 40%, on the right f=145°C, tin 43%,lead 43%, bismuth 14%. I got some years ago an American Beauty resistance soldering station! The same? Very useful for tinny pieces... Well, today, pedals... On the left clutch, brakes and throttle. All different! Settings, always... Brakes differential mechanism, cable brakes you know... Dan.

As promised, gas tank... An annealed sheet of brass, and let's go: Ready for paint, with its metallic straps: And definitively on the chassis: Thanks for looking. Dan.

Hi gentlemen!Today, around the chassis, more. the goal is to put on the chassis all _ I hope _ the components before the assembly of the front and rear axles... Of course, to reduce further manipulations!Today, muffler.Brakets:Ready to go, before paint...In situ, definitively...Next? Gas tank...Thanks for looking,Dan.

As usual, well done Poul! Congrats! Dan.
