Okay, having some good reference makes a big difference! I know the purists should love this... it's about 99.99% perfect, the last 100th of a percent going to +/- in measuring in 64ths, which is pretty damn small... my eyes hurt from looking so hard! Anyway, I'm waiting on some more 1/2" brass tubing coming for the main tubes, so I decided to tackle the rear-most main chassis sub-assembly. It was a bear, since it is comprised of 11 separate pieces of brass plate, all soldered together. It really came out nice, but it did take a while to finish. It's one of the more intricate assemblies to build, so I got it out of the way. Enjoy...
To give you a good idea of size, the 3 lightening hole in the rear plate are 2" in diameter in 1:1 scale, which makes them 1/4" in diameter in 1/8th scale...
11 pieces, not including the bolts, nuts and washers...
Good to be on the right track now,
Garey
