        That's it. Part of the fun of scratchery is the thinking process searching for alternatives that are lying around the house to make from. Once painted over nobodies going to know what it was made from.
        Andy, to build up the arm you can glue thin layers of card until the right thickness then putty and sand to shape.

        Really looking good. :thumb2:

        Cheers,

            Evening Mr Smiff....
            Thats some top notch A-team action right there!! Figuring these things out can be quite fun and you’ve got a cracking result with some clever use of bits knocking about

            Great stuff sir....carry on :thumb2:

              Do you have an old flashlight/spotlight you no longer use? The reflector maybe? PaulE

                  Hidden talents there young Andy.
                  Love the way you find items to use like the electric junction box. As for cutting that you have done well, normally the most brittle hard plastic to work with.Impressive stuff .

                  Love to Rach.

                          Thank you very much Richard!
                          You`re right about the fun of it........ all the "What ifs" and"That may come in handy" thoughts are definitely very good fun:thumb2:.
                          I`ve done something very similar to your suggestion re the arm........ ,

                              HA!! The "A-Team"..... showing your age there Si . Figuring out the use of bits of "Junk" and left over parts is great fun!

                                I had thought of that Paul,and it`s a great idea.
                                However,Torch reflectors are,in the main,convex,or multi pierced for more than one Bulb/LED.Because of the scale and also the bits i have to make for inside of the Drum,i need a flat piece.So i`m gonna have to stick with the baking tray offering:rolling: !!
                                Thank you though mate.
