Yeah, for real. Those Wecohe parts are amazing and you're doing them proud, Eddy. I can't believe you can actually read the Bosch logo on the headlight!

Good morning,
Beautiful armor, Eddy! The Wecohe parts set it off very nicely. ;o) Raminator, working with the ABER brass, I discovered a set of microscopic ( or so it seems ) 'Bosch' logos for their put together headlights. Pshew! Wecohe has my vote on this issue.
regards,
Painless

Awesome. I am always impressed seeing those tiny brass pieces. Especially such clamps. Are there any tutorials? I had a look at the aver late German tool holder manual. U have to bend pieces 5-6mm long over 3-4 angles, so each flat not more than 1mm. How do you do such things. I would like to add a few details like this. But after looking at the dimensions, I can't imagine how to finish them.
