F1 Tool Box C
Instructions! Well, it give you an idea as to what to do...
One big sheet of nickel plate PE
Partway thru construction
They're 1cm squares on the mat!
and the wheels actually spin
and the lid is hinged -
shut!
with tools - Love it!!
Face of the tool box now on after much clamping, including a couple of longer zip-ties - Clipboard artistically arranged on top - have to add some paper to that!!
Some of the hand tools come in 2 halves, and they look a bit thin to be display as 1 tool each, so they need to be glued together.....
I had previously done the multi-grips & shifter - they were pretty simple - but the long-nosed pliers need a jig of some sort..voila!
will do the same for the nippers!!
will do the same for the nippers!!
Had to adjust the front door hinges!!
If you tilt it back the doors stay shut....
With some oil cans inside
and an assortment (messy!) of tools inside - magnify the ring-spanners - they're hexagonal!!
How cool is that?!?!?!
How cool is that?!?!?!
I think the multi-grips should have red handle covers...
At last, these mini clothes-pegs styled clamps get some use - gluing some oil drums.
Also painted the tyres on the cart - Tamiya's Rubber Black
More details added to the tools as well - Tamiya Black Panel-Line wash, gives the tools an aged & used look, plus red handle on the Side-cutters & long-nosed pliers - plus rubberised the handles on the hammers & dirtied them up with some black wash. Looks pretty good!!
Stickers on, including most of the "cans" - lots of softener & setter used
Scale looks about right
An interesting diversion....
Are these the right tools for a Williams FW-07?

Roger TrewenackHo Jonn, my zest for PE driven by my airbrushaphobia! Using Zap-a-gap medium, which works a little slower on this Nickel based PE, so there's time to move a little. I pour a drop or two into a paint palette & then use the small gluing tools that you can get anywhere. I ended up using small (100mm) zip-ties to close the smaller items like the oil cans. There are some double-sided tools, like the shifter & a pair of multigrips. I'll probably do the same for the long-nosed pliers & side-cutters!! I'm an idiot, I know!!
Just going to pick up some more new MetalEarth kits - Space Shuttle Launchpad & new Mar explorer with mini-drone.....and have Barry Sheene's Suzuki on pre-order in the ridiculous scale of 1:9!!
