Hey Barry, Thank you.BarryC wrote:Nexusys,
I first moved the pivot point and then separated and drilled out the hinges so that they are functional. See the 2nd page of my build and it shows both.

Question, what tool did you use to cut such a fine parts?
Also, looking at your photo, note the arrow i pointed the movement of the turret casing? Thats what my problem is.
Going back to my issue, does this means, if i do up a hinge on armor cover, will it move back and forth as shown below (red Arrows)
Thanks Barry, now i can see the sense of it. Thanks for clearing this up. Doing my head in hahaBarryC wrote:
Nexusys,
I used a #11 model knife blade #80 drill bit and lots of care and patience to score plastic and separate. I drilled between the individual hinge points #80 as it was impossible to get the knife blade in without destroying the hinges.
I may yet go back and change hinges to brass but they will have to be made from scratch unless I can find some very small hinge points.
Yes the plate will/does move back and forth. Photos show how the plate moves back and forth.
Here is a good photo of the actual setup.
Hope this helps,
Barry
