Now, I can agree with that! thank you very much gentlemen for your very, very kind words. I'm honored, really. Today, not completed, dry fitted, front axle in situ... When some pieces looks easy to make, be careful, may be they are not! It's the case for these pieces: Thanks again... Dan. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Well, after the front axle, rear one of course! The other side... waiting for the"saucepan": This time, another way. Stamping! Next, a glance to the kitchen... Dan. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 What can I say, dear Dan? That looks absolutely flippin' fabulous. The stamped pieces look like they're cast....I like very much indeed, matey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks to all my fans... specially to Harvey! Are you waiting for the "saucepan"? Here it is: Same way... Dan. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy vd M. Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi Dan, could you show us the positive mould? And do you use the vise to press the brass into shape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Roy, No positive mould! Dapping punch and annealed 0,3 mm brass... with a good hammer! And usually I use my vise as a press, not here of course. For the two shells of the rear axle by exemplar. Dan. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi gentlemen! Rear axle, more and not the end! And sometimes, a great (bad) joke by Gabriel Voisin: Next? Brakes, drums brakes, links and other tie-rods... Tinny pieces! Dan. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renek Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 This is absolutely great and admirable work. To brass ... it is necessary to anneal the brass you use and the annealing temperature before molding. It happened to me that the brass alpha series 42 ... cracked in sharper quarries. I think it's a bad gas burner annealing procedure - uneven temperature. Thanks for the info :) Renek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thank you very much gentlemen! As usual, much appreciated and very motivating. Around the front axle, after painting, with no pain, for the moment! Some new brass pieces before painting... Thanks all for watching!

PROPELLER Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi gentlemen! Thank you "Moa". Are you french? Because "Moa" in french is the deformation _or slang_ of "moi", me in english... You have to pronounce: "MoooooA". Funny isn't? Well, today brakes linkages. No very easy to show you this mechanism. Hope you understand... First, the core of this system, the central traverse: To the front: And to the rear... In front to the hand brake, on the right, the rod to the brake pedal: In fact, there is two tubes, one inside for the front brakes, the other for rear brakes! Are you still there? Ok, the coupling mechanism front/rear... An now, parts: And sorry Harvey, but I can't do that with... a spoon! (joke) Dan. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what you are doing, Dan and I fully agree with the comments Roy made on your model building abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy vd M. Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Brake linkage system looks pretty much the same as on the Delage, which means I’ll probably take a peak in this topic when I’ll reach that stage myself. Once more your results look incredibly good. What craftsmanship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi gentlemen! Still alive... Back to the workbench after a summer break, as usual. The come back is , as usual too, not very easy it's well known! First, the chassis in the real colour: Front axle is now mostly completed, with brakes lines only shock absorbers are missing but you will see they are coming. Rear axle completed! With shock absorbers. Friction shock absorbers, a nightmare. How to? More easier with a mill... That all folks! Thanks for your kind words, and for watching, Dan. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
