Cheers Evilsea

Any particular set ?

PE16009 for tiger

EVILSEA, Hi I bought a PE16009 from Voyager and the first thing I did was to forget about the Hinges for the front fenders and the slide bolts for the same. They are too fiddly and very easy to mess up, instead I went to a dolls house accessories site and found both hinges and slide bolts ready made and much stronger than the Voyager, the next thing was to disregard the surrounds to the front fenders, again far to flimsy, I cut a sheet of 1mm plasticard to size and superglued it to the back of the fender then with a pin vise drilled the holes as detailed through the fender and the plasticard, I then used pins ( the type used by tailors to pin dresses together, not the big dress makers pins, the small ones)to go into the drilled holes , do take great care lining up the hinges and slide bolts, when the pins are through and everything is right, a drop of superglue on the point where the pin comes through the plasticard and leave to dry, when dry snip off the balance of the pins and you have fenders that both work and look right, I would disregard the plastic dowling it will spoil the look and has no strength, the job is like all PE fiddly but when it is done right well worth while. What you should remember is be flexible the kit you get is readily adaptable. good luck. shaun

Thanks mate for the help, just looking at the task leaves me reaching for the stress ball lol....ohhh errrr missus

Evilsea most important of all it is not a race, pace yourself and dry run every part of the build until you are sure you know what you are going to do. I would recommend a good set of viewing glasses and plenty of light. shaun
