    Famo-1 ?

    1/87 Trident Famo w/rear spade. All the resin stuff is trimmed & ready. I'm trying to figure out how to arrange the cable to make the spade movable.

              Hi Paul brilliant stuff love it but as always viva la small stuff, I know where your coming from with the cables ,I've got kits of a scammel?type break down truck and the king Kong artillery piece ,obviously the truck has the cable's for the crane and the Kong thing has a ramp/or spade thig on the back ,both include the twine/string/cotton?in the kit but nothing very precise what to do with it ,as Ron would say its his kit and he'll do what he wants im the same but if it's not done correctly you've ruined it all on your own, the NKIA's will be very quick to point out your mistake ,I'll get the bill bus pidgeon thing done and perhaps have a look in the stash for one of them next. Dave
              NKIA's any takers on this one.
              Clue.....knowledgeable people with a common elephants name.
