What's on the bench 2022

[Mark1]

Mark, I couldn't help noticing the subtle difference between the tires and their tread faces and sidewalls......very natural looking. how did you achieve that?

I'm glad you noticed Rick :smiling3: it was primarily to removed the mould seam that run around the middle of the tyre but does give a bit of a worn look, I just gave them a vigorous rub with an 80grit sanding stick until I could smell burning rubber lol.

Well as Rick says they look very natural, love that winch, those handles must have been fun Mark ?

Cheers John, there was quite a few parts to the winch but really wasn't that bad to put together,a nice bit of design on tamiyas part.

Cheers Ron, just gotta wind 3mtrs of cord onto the second drum now:tired:

Oh that's easy Mark, maybe just let Commander Race do that for you while he's still sitting on the Naughty step ?

Why my friend am I on the naughty step yet again :smiling3:?

Lol, well John, you are always up to something, despite your calm demeanor. Think of yourself as.... Colonel Hogan ala' Hogan's Heroes. And well, that makes the Naughty step your Stalag 13 :tongue-out2:

That’s why I put a piece of plastic tube around the winch on my M32B1, so it doesn’t need a scale length of thread on it You can still do that with yours, if you cut a bit of tube lengthwise into two so you can glue the sections around the drum.

That's a good idea jacko, one layer of thread will sit flatter as well rather than looking a bit bunched up in places

Well this will sure disappoint John.

On the other hand, these winches didn’t have a mechanism to wind the cable neatly, so it did bunch up in places on the real thing …
