Eagle Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Ok try this. Hemroid as Gramps calls him . :D I just can't get good photo's tonight. The focus, color ect is just not there. I'll try this weekend for better shots. He is a full 19" tall . I finished the antenna last night . I don't know if I'm going to do the dials or not. As you can see the arms are a lot more robust then the 700. This new multicolor textured paint is slick. You can see separate colors coming out of the can at the same time. amazing.

Phil R Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Wow, Mark! how did I miss this guy for four days. I love the choice of color and texture. Can't wait to see it finished. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkrobot Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Mark,,,,,, I agree with Phil that texture paint finish looks great,,The Antennae,,will it be metal,,I think this will really set the whole thing off..This is actually one of my favourite projects of yours :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Antenna is made from 14/2 romex copper wire. Soldered together. I need some knobs . 1/4 brass knurled knobs , like the ones used to hold a glass globe to a lamp. Andy ?? Do you have anything in your parts bin that would work ?

Eagle Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I guess Mom would say, I'm the Big brother !! ;) Though a little rough around the edges with little refinement. Still a good one to watch your SIX in a scrap ! :) Also, older brother attracts the ladies. The two of us compliment one another ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
