Default Cheers Neil.

Cheers Neil, as with all my projects I usually have to make them twice or more.
First project is a reciprocating thumbnail shrinker. I had it drawn up until I read the sub folder Kerry pointed me to now that's been superseded.

Best regards Mick

Hi Michael - welcome to the forum.
Great work on the pedal cars - a project I have in mind for my new grandson

Did you cast the front axle on the baby bug or is it bent tubing?

Welcome to the forum!
Reckon your grandchildren love your amazing little vehicles.

Default Baby Bug

Jim, Thank you, the axle was fabricated from thick wall tubing and blended out.
both the cars are powered by 24v electric motors. The Jeep is full 4wd and the Baby just rear wheel drive with a diff and rack and pinion steering.

Jochen, before I start a new car project I intend making a thumbnail shrinker, I have only just found out about them and one would have been very useful on the Bug, I have a normal shrinker
/ stretcher but it's not deep enough, plus I'm waiting for the weather to dry and warm up a bit before I can finish the bugatti with the paint job

to be honest it's something I would like to make, it's been on my list for quite a while, after reading the "how to" on making thumbnail dies
