That's coming along nicely, Alexis -

Your pulleys look great (better than my effort) and is a shame that this kit did not include them.

Regards

Dave

No problem Grant , you are very welcome . My Dad never built models , these are punches he use as a heavy duty mechanic .
Not sure what for , but they are perfect for modeling .

Alexis

Gaskets, most likely. I remember punching holes in gasket material from Auto Mechanics Class back on high school...

Hi Alexis.

This is really looking great! and the pulleys came out very well.

I also have 2 sets of punches. I don't use them often, but the results are always good.

I have a regular set from 1 to 10 mm and a micro set of 22 punches from Master Tools (Trumpeter) ranging from 0.25 to 1.35 mm with 0.05 increments.

You could be right Jamie , thanks Willem for the kind comments . I don't over use my very either , but they are a very handy tool to have at ones disposal .

The left strut pulleys are done and I must say this was fiddly work , the top one is set at an angle or the best I could get with the pur photo's . Now on to the right side strut ...

Indeed, this seems to be a very fiddly work.
But it looks good so far, and I am sure the end result will be worth the effort.

I finished off the right strut this afternoon with a bit of quality time at the bench . This pic should be more clearer then the last bunch .

Those wheels on the struts look very fiddly indeed. Well done for getting such good results.
