Tim HeimerI like the work you have going here, mines on hold as well. LOL. I need to ask you what you used to cut the doors out? I had same idea but wasn't sure how without destroying.

Nigel ChapmanI bought the Bare Metal Foil Panel scriber tool. It's a very fine hook shaped blade that you use to repeatedly scribe around the panel you are removing. So as you scribe it removes small slither of plastic. Time consuming but worth it. Check out www.bare-metal.com

MunkyslutThat's amazing work Nigel! Puts my paltry Transit efforts to shame!
My Dodge Dayvan looks just like that underneath 😉

Nigel ChapmanThanks checkout www.modeljunkyard.com. These guys produce some amazing scratch built cars and buildings plus they sell how to guides and plans. Have a look at my rat look Toyota album.

MunkyslutReal???? If I go out on the drive now & lay under my Ram van it's a perfect match😉

MunkyslutNigel, how do fabricate the hinge? Do you scratch build something or utilise another kits hinges?
Interesting stuff!

Nigel ChapmanMy inspiration came from a US modeller Steve Perry, who runs Calnaga Castings, his gallery featured a Ford off road Van that had working opening doors. He fabricated scratch built hinges in brass. I want to try and do something similar. Check out his online store www.calnaga.com - He produces very high quality resin parts, some of which I used on my El Camino.

Dominik WeitzerSome cool stuff he offers.
I built hinges for my Van out of thin white metal. it worked fine, Looks matching to the scale but is reeeeeally really weak.

MunkyslutThat website is very good Nigel, some of the carbs are incredible, the Dommies for example, even has performance hose & fittings for genuine race cars.
Thanks for sharing 😉

Nigel ChapmanMy pleasure. I was his first customer in the UK. Why is it difficult to get items like these over here?

Nigel ChapmanDominik - You mentioned making van door hinges, do you have photo's ?
23 July 2019, 20:33
Dominik WeitzerYes Nigel, i have made a WIP that time. Have to figure out, how it works to "hitchhike" your Projekt for Pictures. Hold on, i'm searching and trying 😉
Here is the link from the WIP (German)
wettringer-modellbau..d&threadID=45116
perhaps it works? I've made a lot of Pictures step by step. on the Post #16 i start with the hinges.

MunkyslutThat's a great link Dominik, thanks for posting. Did the hinges you have break easily?

Dominik WeitzerThank you Mates! much appreciated.

Bill NewcomerI just viewed the process for what it takes to make working doors on the van. OMG!
28 July 2019, 22:39
Dominik WeitzerTry it Nigel. I had to figure that out also. It is completely different on the van to make those rear or sliding doors working as on a cars doors. It was a challenge for me also 😉
