hi,
Continuing with the suspension with the assembly of the trolleys. Despite what pictures might look like, I'm still working on a tank, not a train
!
If there is no difficulty neither here, it's still a critical assembly; all parts must be the same (and parallel) else the tank won't "seat" correctly. To do so I built a template (mold?) so I can glue parts on the right /perfect position.
Next is the spring. I'm making them from 1mm copper tin covered (for electronic) It's a perfect material, easy to form, easy to paint, strong enough not to deform with the weight of the model. Making even space is easy too, I roll it over a drill, then I'm using my metallic ruler to create the space, cut in size, flat the side. It will need some adjustment but this is for the next "session"
