Last update for the weekend.

I "whittled" a wingnut out of styrene rod for the latch and added the hasp pieces for the hatch lock. I figured I might as well go ahead and lock it while I was at it.

Are you kidding me? Stunning Barry

Just when I thought I accomplished something today I see this....

never crossed my mind you would design a wingnut and the lock. I feel like i'm looking at the actual 1:1 abrams rather than 1:16. speechless

Thanks guys! Really it's all in the spirit of the build and besides it's fun!

I didn't want anyone to gain "unauthorized" access overnight.

Barry, everytime you build parts for this, did you do another copy of them for the next project?

Ahh............a real man would have made a key for it

OCD does not come close to describing your incredible attention to detail. Have you ever thought of bottling it up and selling it on the open market? Unbelievable work

Beautiful, inspirational, and frustrating all at the same time!

You are a master.

Nexusys,

I do not, if the part requires a lot of measured pieces I make drawing of sorts with dimensions. Other wise it will just be another adventure.

What makes you think I did not? It's pretty small maybe you just can't see it.
