NICE "thumbsup"

what ever you figure out for hinges make / get / rob get extra for the blast cab.

You are turning out some of the very best stuff I've come across. Learned a lot just from studying your builds. Thanks for posting your work, Mr Roksloski.

Partly inspired by you, I recently started messing around with Styrene and bumped into these the other day. With the off chance you're not privy to them, DIY hinges.

Thanx...

how would one use those DIY hinges???:oops:

2kind 07-30-2016 08:33 AM

I picked them up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMyDD1nZQc
He does a great job explaining how to make and how one could go about using them.

My Example:
With some playing around I modified one of the designs to fit my personal needs. I needed something to work with a boxed in door for a cubby. It allowed not only swing but lift as well to clear the flooring.
<a href="http://s1376.photobucket.com/user/thekraigen/media/20160728_215252_zps0rqxc1bo.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah16/thekraigen/20160728_215252_zps0rqxc1bo.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 20160728_215252_zps0rqxc1bo.jpg"/></a>

The "U" shaped design can also work just like a car door hinge. Giving the door a box to open into or swinging out to clear the side panel, depending how you set it up.

Hope that helped a bit and wan't too much.
Also, I was wondering how you go about gluing two painted pieces together? Everything I have used seems to wanna strip the paint off in the process.

Re: Sloski's attempt at Styrene
 
Hey thank you for that......"thumbsup""thumbsup"

99% of my stuff is painted after it is built...

for the other 1% i will scrape the paint off.....

like the tool box drawer's, i scrape the paint out of the center where it is going to go....

2kind 07-30-2016 11:00 AM

You're verdy welcome!

I had thought that was the proper way to go about painting but the toolbox did throw me for a loop. Thanks a bunch for clarifying that for me :)

Re: Sloski's attempt at Styrene
 
LOL
the 1st tool box i did, i painted it all at once then when dried i painted the silver drawer part.......

2nd one i painted the drawers separately, made painting the silver a lot easier....

thanx again....

off to the store to get supplys to make hinges...."thumbsup""thumbsup"

roksloski 07-30-2016 07:05 PM

Re: Sloski's attempt at Styrene
 
Ok so here we go.......

i made some mock up hinges so i could see how they work and if they will work for my needs........
you throw a cabinet face frame in the mix and, man i was scratching my head........:shock:
i Think i got it figured out.............


to make it easy on myself, i used the paperclip loops instead of bending my own..
