Chris, I am in total AWE of your brain power and commitment on this. I reckon there should be a new award; the LION'S dangly bits!

Just caught up again - fantastic work, and I'm sure that the committee will come up with a fantastical award, as I'm in agreement with Neil on the lions dangling bits award!
The possible solution to the guns not dropping wouldn't involve knicker elastic would it? :smiling2: as soon as I read about the problem I thought a very light spring might do it?

AN HI Gerry how did you guess about ladyies nicker elastic ? was it when i said about ladyies ? as yes thats what im waitin on as it should stretch just nice but not to strong that the micro servo wont pull up an elevate the guns so see how i get on with it when it comes or as you say a light spring out of a pen may do it will see how it all goes an thank you sayin i desever the lions dangle bits lol :rolling::smiling:
ATB to you Sir

Make sure the elastic is easily replaced Chris. It degrades with time.

She looks awesome so far Chris! Really nice! :thumb2:

[GerryW]

Wondering if you've thought about a tiny 'torsion spring' they seem to be used for a lot of things nowadays and you might be able to get one in a very low 'weight' which would just be fitted to the axle?

MANY THANKS Steven but it should look a lot better when i fit on some hundred odd crew figuers goin about their bussiness on the bridge an decks but that in the future
cheers
