Hey all

I have finally got myself a digital camera (Canon A95) and have just started playing around with it.

Here some photos of an M989 HEMAT that I have been scratchbuilding on and off for a while now.
I'm still experimenting with the camera, so some of the pics are a bit fuzzy. I didn't set up any special lighting (desk lamp + overhead light), so that also detracts from the image quality.

The model is built from Evergreen plastic sheet, channels and I-beams and brass sheet. The model is built using CAD plans that I made based on the TM and photos.


The deck with three of the side panels


The underside of the deck showing the various chassis I-beams


Top of the deck - the wood grain is scribed onto the centre planks, although it's not particularly visible here


Side panel - made from annealed brass sheet, bent in an 8" Hold-n-Fold

If I ever finish this thing, I'll be sure to post the pics here. Otherwise there are a few more pics in my gallery including some pics of the (also incomplete) CAD model.

Cheers
Ed

Hello Ed,
Outstanfing scratchbuilding effort. I am interested in the toolyou described as a hold-n-fold. Can you provide any data on it. Sounds useful.

Thanks Paul

The Hold and Fold is a photoetch-bending tool made by a company called The Small Shop.

Ed,
Thanks for that. There's always a great new idea out there.
