Nuts and Bolts

[modelmaker]

Thanks Rick ! /B
I don't have a tecnique as such for what I do on pochers ! The only real advise I can give is


If you want to just simply insert a bolt into a piece of plastic , what can I say but drill an oversize hole and insert the bolt with a smige of Instant glue to hold it in place thats all I do.
You guys are only working with plastic there's no secret method , on the other hand if you want to start working in all brass then thats another ball game thats advise I can give!

there is a company called Grandt Line Products in CA. I ordered some last week so should be here soon. My local hobby shop didn't have any but were willing to order for me.

They have other neat things too.

If you don't mind using styrene as your medium, get ahold of Evergreen or Plastruct styrene hex shaped rods. They come in sizes I can't find in brass like .020" and such. Just cut off a short piece with a razor saw or very sharp knife, clean up the edges if you need to, glue them down carefully with a small set of tweezers and some CA and paint or cover with BMF as you see fit. I've done that a number of times for some really small bolt detail and it's worked great. The bolts on the tranny cover or whatever you call it are made of the .030 hex styrene rod.

Don't forget to get some square rod and black paint for the Bugattis as well...
