A must have for any scale rig I think. Thought I'd share what I found with y'all. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...70456879099&ru |

It's definately nice looking, but you can make one in less than 10 minutes (literally). |

Thanks! The horizontal member is brass sheet that I just folded as well as the small arms but the vertical member is made of 2 piece solid copper plate about 1/8" thick that I solder together. The hinge points are made of 3-32 brass I just hummer both end so it mushroom out like a rivet. Trick part in making it fold perfectly and unfold with 90 are the joint locations. I did it with trial and error, honestly I didnt get a perfect 90 but around 100~110 at some point its better as it give more digging angle. If you want I can measure up the distances between points so you use it for reference. | |

If I had a guess,looks like about 5 mm but depending on the winch hook you use it may be to small.
