Re: TERRY'S 234/1"EIGHT WHEEL DRIVE"
Cool! Just a note, that time module down on the bottom of the front page is for everyone who may like to use it for these group build kickoffs.
Terry, was that showing correctly for your time zone?

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"LETS GET SUSPENDED"
Excited to begin the 234/1 I went to work and got through the first three steps which are all suspension stuff. The detail of the kit is spectacular with a lot of very small and well molded parts.
The 234 has large ball joints for moving the wheels, but on the kit there are large locating pins locate the wheels. I want to turn the wheels. To do this I had to cut those off.
Next comes the the control arms and springs.
That's it for now. The interior is next so stay tuned. Questions and comments welcome.

It almost looks like you could make those wheels articulate at the ball joint. Little brass rod will go a long way... Nice start Terry, I know it's going to be another show stopper.

Thanks MP!! The control arms are pretty solid, but I guess if you are brave you could rebuild them. Not me too much for me.

Not lazy, more like... "next time"
After the crab, I can't think of you as incapable or lazy. Not in the mood maybe.

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"THEM'S DA BRAKES"
Well I thought this would be just a simple build just out of the box, but Nooooo!!! Saul had get me thinking about scratch building and just look what happened. I thought the 8-RAD needed some stopping power so I did a little research ask some people almost got into a jam, but in the end I have started adding brake lines and linkage's to the model. I got one done just three more to go. Here's the progress so far.
Until next time! Comments welcome.
