Hi
As you will see i've finished the Front/Rear Shock absorbers. (Picture 22) They are shown in
the picture about twise the real size.
Balsa Fuel tank ?
Yeah i decieded to have a go at sculpting the Fuel Tank out of wood. It's the first time i've
ever sculpted anything in wood. (I was the useless idiot,You used to have in Your woodwork class)
Anyway it was suprisingly easy. I used 3M Sandblaster p180 sandpaper to get the shape. leaving
it about 1mm shy of my planned dimensions, then dry sanded with 800 wet/dry to get closer, and
lastly dry sanded it with 1200 wet/dry. (all wet/dry paper by halfords, car paper)
The picture below shows the sanded piece. (Picture 23) The whole process took around 45 mins.
until next time... Martin
