*big grin* thanks mate... i hope i can deliver more soon...

also i just needed the base to be done so to better work on the chassis of the walker...i need a stable base to have the model rest upon...

this however makes me wonder how to glue/attach the feet on to the base? for pinning there is little possibilities...and i would think there is no chance on where i could do this...

any ideas?

sure you can! You have a cordless or electric drill i'd bet, put a hole through a crack in the stones big enough for a paperclip- little CA- instant pin

If the FIMO can be sanded, it can be drilled, albeit maybe at a very slow speed.

i wasn´t concerned with the fimo...that is pretty much the same density as resin...that woudl work quite well...but if you look at the toes and feet...i think there is the difficulty right there... not enough "flesh" for any pin to hold on to...



there foot has a structure that it is standing literally on air and its toes...so the leg is not in the same way as the sentinel down on the ground... i will makie later on some better pics of the feet if needed to show this what troubles me...

The pin doesn't need to go into the styrene very far at all, it will hold when glued with CA...but i'd drill the styrene with a pin vice if I were you, the friction from the speed of the cordless drill melts the styrene and leaves these little shredded styrene dingleberries that are a pain. It will hold better than glue alone.

hmm... ok...so then i think at least one pin on each foot...if i am feeling expetimental i could make a tird one and get even more stablity...as the cobbles are pretty uneven i can get probably away with a lot of fuzzy work...^^
and tho i don´t own a pinvice i will use my old very small screwdriver as a handheld drill...my cordless drill by the way i can switch to a very low mode...i will test that on an unused piece... to make sure no harm comes to the toes...

by the way... what do you mean by "dingleberries "...you have so many funny new words up your sleeve^^

Haha, that's going right into my vocabulary for everyday conversation!

Also seems like Dstein is doing you good, Vik. Seems to me you're making a leap in productivity and quality and I think it's at least partly thanks to his constant counsel and buttkicking. Way to go!

meant that...but see... our minds work also with bad wordings and get the meaning nevertheless...thats why i get away with my lazy spelling most of the time...well if some smart...*cough* man brings up my shame...then i have to "regroup"...


sorry guys... no updates today...did the smaller base... turned out quite good... i even used some sand for the cracks inbetween the stones...then primed it black...i am atm just too lazy to paint it and take a pic...more of that show tomorrow...

then i tried to pin the legs...worked quite good and also i drilled the big base... no probs there... but i didn´t have the nerve to glue it in place...that will have to wait i guess for tomorrow as well...

Why don't you glue it now, then by tomorrow it'll be set? Your delays at the manufactorum are costing LIVES out on the front line Vik!
