Title: A Ford Model T of a sort ! in 1/16th scale
Post by: Barney on October 20, 2024, 05:13:08 AM
Sitting around not doing much at all and then a sudden flash of inspiration from the "Shed and Buried" Tv Program Ford Model Ts of many modified sorts - So Dug out an old Ford T kit by Union (note the fag packet in the background) The Kit well a bit rough but ended up using some of the useful bits & bods
The main chassis has been beefed up as per the 1 ton Truck - new rear axle of the worm drive type (1 ton truck) new leaf springs Heavy Duty type
all mods made with Evergreen styrene and acrylic rod everything at the moment in the rough stage many nuts /bolts /rivets to be added Kit parts in black all require a good clean up and parts to be added

Doing nothing often gives you the best ideas. Well done!

Your components are far better than those of a kit. -- Russ
