Good Morning, Herman,
Aye, Doll House stuff. That's where I found the scale phone handset for the box on the Pershing. ;o)

Hmm, need to make a couple of hinges for a 1/16th scale radio controled tank - German, I KNOW, I will try the dolls house joint ??!!
Ive have to hand it to you Mr Jarndice, its that kind of info and advice that makes being in this forum well wothwhile.......if a little mind bending !!

I am sure I have not been aware of a local place that could perhaps offer this solution, but now I will damn well try to .

Nice work on the radiator hatches Mr Caster, I'm curious about the "string method"
:haha: :haha: :haha: Herman, I had heard of the dolls house hinges but don't think they would work in this case. I spend more time on it and with styrene tubes , a paper lip and some creative Drexel grinding I got a result that will work :D plus once the fifel filters are installed it should cover any uneven areas, plus a little milliput :) thanks for the help fellas and good advice as always
