The lever is slotted, then drilled and cut to length.

I had to do the brake linkage twice because I didn't look closely enough at the photos.
Above the correct version, below the scrap.
Something like this happens from time to time.

The brake is now partially pre-assembled. The rest can only be attached after painting.

Fantastic work on such tiny parts!

What I love about this forum is the wide variety of skills, methods, and materials used by the various modelers in pursuit of the same goal - creating realistic scale models.

That gives me an idea: I'm going to ask each guy here to create a part of my next model so I won't have to build, paint, or weather any of it myself! -- ssuR

You're getting a bit slow in your old age , Russ. You should get everyone to contribute to your next model and get them to pay for the privilege. It would be like a subscription and everyone who contributes gets to have their name included on a very nice scroll personally signed by yourself , which could then be purchased for the special introductory price of $9.99 for a limited period .

    I'm off to cast 10,000 bricks for you .

Do I get my own office with my name on the door and the key to the executive bathroom ?
