So... I promised ya'll a seat...
Some 1.5mm styrene rod, some bending, some CA, some glueing of fingers to things... and Ta-DAAH!
Used the old seat as a template for the back...
1.5mm halfround rod... Seat?
Seat!
A little sanding. A little bit of styrene for an armour backing to the seat...
All it needs now is the raising mechanism...
Which involves tiny parts. And it's actually kit parts! That I can use!
Oh, and modern kit makers; Take note! TINY SPRUE GATES! IT CAN BE DONE! WITH 70S TECHNOLOGY!! (I'm looking at you, Airfix...)
Tiny seat adjuster jack, made from some scrap styrene and a kit part. The thread on the big wormscrew is done with some lead wire.
It looks pretty good, all together like this. And some paint will do wonders.
I added a handle for the brakes and some wire, and with paint it looks the bussiness. Still needs some weathering and a matt coat and than it's another job done.
More soooon!
