and thats what ive been working on lately.

OK, i've fixed your links so we can see the pics.
It's a pet hate of mine people doing that - mainly because i'm to f***in' lazy to click on them and would rather just see stuff there.

Can you get to Ashburton for AMCC meetings or is Cockatoo to far out?  Next one is Monday.

oh thank you zen! uhm i think ashburton is only like 40 mins away from where i am so i shold drop in for a visit one monday!

Do that.  Third Monday of the month at Ashburton Library from 8pm.  But give me a shout here if you are going as they have been known to move it a different library at short notice.

some interesting projects you have going there.
i'm particularly interested in the Chevy Van, as you've opened the side door, and i'm having trouble figuring out how to mount it.(sliding door)

heh that is a trade secret.... that even i havent figured out yet! haha, i have a few ideas i can try just ned to find a hobby store so i can get some materials, i did have one go with alloy tubing which was a good idea but the wrong materials so ill try with plastic instead and post some pics!

This has a working sliding door.

The kit comes with it.
Bottom mount is a pin that slides in the channel you can see in this pic (the sorta J shaped bit between the wheels).

It also has a middle pin which slides in the slot along the side.

On the Chevy you'd need to make a top channel mirroring the bottom one as these vans didn't have the middle slide.  The trick is that the door has to come outwards before it slides backwards.
Good luck.

hmmm i had an idea of doing the U shaped brass rod and some tube glued inside and then cover the inside of the doors with plasticard to give them a clean look but i gotta find a hobby shop that sells evergreen been to QikAzz hobbies in pakenham and there pretty average heaps of paint and i went to hallam hobbies and heh no luck all RC stuff going to try hobbyman in dandenong? and there another one in clayton which ive been told about check them out tomorrow and see what they have.

Hearns Hobbies and the Victorian Hobby Centre in the City both have evergreen if you have no luck closer to your place.

Wow what a build list!!! I'd never get anything finished if I had that many on the go at once................
