hi

not much of that..have some of the one in england..thats about it..
will look and see what i find. but i am in sweden right now but i am sure you will come thru with this

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Wayne, can you use a needle and heat it and carefully stick the canopy to make a mounting point? It will take a steady hand but with your talent I'm sure it won't be very difficult.

I was thinking more along the lines of a very small fine drill...actually!

 

[Lucky13]

Just get on with it will ye......stop fannying about, I want more pics!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You could use the hot needle as a center punch per say to make a small mark to help keep the drill bit centered. That way you are less likely to slip with the drill bit and scratch the plastic.

Masking tape over the spot, a small pin mark from the scalpel, to mark the spot and as a 'pilot hole, then drill. If bit slips, it hits tape, not clear part.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks for the tips fellas...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Just trying to exercise my brain.

Ok, after about an hours messing about I have created the Nose window mounted compass box...

2 small squares of plastic card glued together then shaped roughly into a cube/box about 2mm square!!
Then drilled the back and attached a tiny brass rod, painted the box and found a left over dial from my etch set for the front and I think I have it?...well pretty close anyway!
Have predrilled a small hole in the nose glass...very carefully.

Probably add one more tiny bit of card to the back to help support the compass box....
